Re: ximian gnome on unstable
Hello There Jdls,
To get ximian-gnome on my system, I went to the ximian website. It
then told me to enter a command that started with lynx -source
<url>. That insterted a line in my apt/sources.list file. And then
it ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, I believe. You can add
the line to your sources.list file yourself if you'd like.
It's deb http://spidermonkey.ximian.com/distributions/debian
unstable main I also have deb
http://spidermonkey.ximian.com/1.4beta1/distributions/debian
unstable main in there which I got from
http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/apt-sources/
If you want red-carpet you can browse
ftp://spidermonkey.ximian.com/pub/ and go to the redcarpet section
and download the .deb file and then try to install it. If you get
any compaints.... like it needing libgnet0, then download the .deb
of it, install it with dpkg --force-overwrite. This will overwrite
some files that came with libgnet-dev. Then install the red-carpet
.deb file. Then download the libgnet-dev .deb file. Install it with
dpkg --force-overwrite.
Then I think you'll be set. I truly hope that helps you get what you're
looking for.
Best of Luck,
Jimmy Richards
