Enlightenment on Debian (zz)
Enlightenment on Debian unstable
From Soulmachine
This repository is built on and for Debian Unstable, you can get it to work on Ubuntu and Debian Sarge, but you may have to manually force the installation of some packages, and from that point on apt-get may complain about broken packages. YMMV, use at your own risk.
Location
The repository is located here:
deb http://soulmachine.net/debian/ unstable/
slackd00d setup a mirror here:
deb http://debian.oceighty.net/e17 unstable/
Package list
You can take a look at the Debian package file here: [1] (http://soulmachine.net/debian/unstable/Packages)
To install all the packages (after adding it to your sources.list and running apt-get update) in the repository you can use the command:
apt-get install `cat /var/lib/apt/lists/soulmachine.net_debian_unstable_Packages | grep Package | cut -f 2 -d :`
and to delete one package when there are problems use this to generate the list:
cat /var/lib/apt/lists/soulmachine.net_debian_unstable_Packages | grep Package | cut -f 2 -d : > list
edit the list (remove the unwanted package) , and:
apt-get install `cat list`
Common problems
You may notice that when you do an upgrade or dist-upgrade that e17 doesn't get installed... that's because the default package for enlightenment 0.16.6 in unstable gets priority. To override this, you'll want to use APT preferences (man apt_preferences). Here's an example /etc/apt/preferences file:
Package: enlightenment
Pin: version 0.16.999*
Pin-Priority: 999
Package: enlightenment-data
Pin: version 0.16.999*
Pin-Priority: 999
Evidence package conflict
The reason this conflict exists is, my build tree has been modified a bit to make automated builds possible. Almost all my changes have been checked into CVS but there are a few that could possibly break the freedesktop.org builds that raster has been doing so I've kept them in my local tree only. So you'll need to remove the sourceforge package with "dpkg -r evidence" to install the package from my repository for now.
