SimplyGNUstep repository is set up

[Chad Hardin]

Ok, I make a whole mess of Debian Packages for GNUstep.  Some of them  
are based upon the actual Debian packages but I made most of them  
myself.
Unlike the Debian packages, these packages install in a more friendly  
manner.

Local is in /
System is in /System
and Networks is in, you guessed it, /Network

Most of the applications install into /Applications.  Development stuff  
goes in /Applications/Developer.  Games are in /Applications/Games

These packages are not based on Debian "woody", they where built on a  
"Sarge" system.  You may get them to install on woody, I haven't  
bothered trying.

So, all you gotta do is install yourself a Debian "Sarge" system.  Grab  
the cd-rom image here:   
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/sarge-i386- 
netinst.iso

After the install, install windowMaker (apt-get install wmaker)

Oh, and get X11 working.

Next, add the SimplyGNUstep repository by adding these lines to  
/etc/apt/sources.list :
     deb     http://simplygnustep.sourceforge.net/Packages/      
binary-i386/
     deb-src http://simplygnustep.sourceforge.net/Packages/     source/


Now pull in the repository with an "apt-get update"

To install, you have three meta-packages: sgstep-meta-user,  
sgstep-meta-developer, and sgstep-meta-games

So, for a basic install, just do a "apt-get install sgstep-meta-user"

If you want Gorm, ProjectCenter, all the debug libs, headers, docs etc,  
do a "apt-get install sgstep-meta-developer"

Now start X11 and enjoy!


BTW, GWorkspace is installed in /System/Applications, if your looking  
for it.


Of course, the repository will be maintained.  So to update, just do a  
"apt-get update" and then a "apt-get upgrade" and you will always have  
the newest GNUstep software w/o any fuss at all!


Enjoy!
