Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid) packages of ROOT 5.15/07 for i386 and powerpc available.
Hi All,
As the subject says, new (long overdue) Debian GNU/Linux packages of
ROOT are available from
deb http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root unstable root
deb-src http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root unstable root
for both i386 and powerpc. Other contributed builds are welcome.
Contributed builds of RPMs are also welcome.
- IMPORTANT NOTICE - IMPORTANT NOTICE - IMPORTANT NOTICE -
Many of the packages have changed names. In particular
root-bin -> root-system-bin
root-doc -> root-system-doc
root-rootd -> root-system-rootd
root-xrootd -> root-system-xrootd
root-proofd -> root-system-proofd
root-common -> root-system-common
and I have taken _no_ provisions to make this update smooth. Hence you
should completely de-install previous (pre 5.15.07-2) packages before
installing the new ones. If not, you will get all sorts of conflicts
with overriden files, etc. You have been warned.
The name change was done in an effort to make packages that complies
with the Debian FTP masters naming policy. These packages are target
for the `experimental' distribution and it is our hope that they will be
accepted soon into that distribution. From there, the road to the
`main' distribution goes via a production release of ROOT (scheduled for
June 27) and a clean built of that.
Yours,
--
