Hi everyone, I couldn't find any up-to-date Freenet .deb package on the Net, so I made up one by myself. Currently it's based on fred-staging, Git snapshot of freenet. I built/tested it on Debian sid running on an IA32 machine, but you can re-build it on 64-bit machines or the latest Ubuntu without much hassle.
You may apt-get it from: deb http://people.debian.org/~mhatta/debian/freenet ./ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~mhatta/debian/freenet ./ I tried to make it comply with the Debian policy as much as possible, and seems it works nicely AFAIK, but some issues remain: 1. fred in this package doesn't use wrapper -- so you'll see some warnings. fred is directly controlled by Debian's start-stop-daemon(and I think it works well). The main reason I don't use wrapper is, quite simply, I don't know how to use it ;-< Helps are welcome. See /etc/init.d/fred for detail. 2. The build system can build freenet-ext.jar, but the self-build version of freenet-ext.jar doesn't work somehow(causes hang up at daemon startup). Is there any special way to build it? Currently the build of freenet-ext.jar is disabled in debian/rules, so the shipped version of freenet-ext.jar will be downloaded from the official Freenet website everytime you build this package. When these issues are fixed, I'm planning to upload this to the official Debian archive for inclusion. Comments, suggestions or criticism will be appreciated.
