does anybody have a Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) deb install?

It may be that 1.73.x is considered to be stable enough; but, IMO, the major stumbling block is the mozjs embedding.Micha wrote:Well,same thing for the Oolite debs. But until there's a new stable version of Oolite, there's no way it'll get updated in the official distro repositories (ie, Debian/Ubuntu).Poro wrote:People sometimes get put-off from Playdeb when they realise they have to follow the instructions given to enable access to some repositories.
And if you do that, I strongly suggest installing devscripts, running “debuild binary” and installing the resulting .deb.Until then you have to 'hack' Oolite onto your system via the autopackager release, download-compile-install your own copy,
Well, if you will go spraying mud and oil over the other mechanisms…or use an unofficial repository such as PlayDeb or Oolite Debs. The latter is the least hacky mechanism, assuming you trust the repository to get it right.

Micha didn't say "per-kernel", he said "specific version", such as Hardy, Jaunty, etc.. there's quite a difference.._ds_ wrote:Hmm? Per-kernel repositories?

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Exhibit A: “a particular repository (or apt-line) is for a specific version of Linux”. For example, I recently tested a patch which works for a specific range of versions (strictly, releases) of Linux: specifically, 2.6.32 to (so far) 2.6.33-rc6.Diziet Sma wrote:Micha didn't say "per-kernel", he said "specific version", such as Hardy, Jaunty, etc.. there's quite a difference.._ds_ wrote:Hmm?

Linux is the kernel. It is not the userland.

Mmmm.. ok. I see your point, and agree.. he changed subjects in the middle of the paragraph. He begins by discussing repositories, which do indeed refer to Hardy, Jaunty, etc, then switched to talking about specific kernel versions. Rather confusing..

Apologies... I -meant- 'Distro' when I -said- 'Linux'. I should know better than to call 'Linux' the OS when I know it's 'only' the kernel. Most users do see the word 'Linux' as referring to the entire OS though. But I should not add to the confusion. My bad.
The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
