Re: Redmine Debian packages

[Richard Hurt <rnhurt@kangaroobox.com>]

Well, its in pretty early alpha and while it works OK on my systems, I  
cant be certain that it will be approved in its current form.  Debian  
is pretty strict about their packaging and since this is the first  
ever Rails app in Debian, they are being even more fussy about  
it.  :)  So, it wont be in Lenny if thats what you need.  I'm guessing  
that at some point in the future it will be "backported" to Lenny, but  
now I'm getting ahead of myself.

Yes, you can install it if you wish, just know that if it breaks your  
systems you get to keep all the pieces.  You can download the latest  
package from here[1].  If you looking for to implement Redmine the  
easy way, my company sells it in server appliance form[2].  ;)

Good luck, and please let me know how it works on your systems.  You  
might even want to subscribe to the Debian Ruby mailing list[3] to  
give your feedback and get info on the status of each release.

Later...
