Dragoslav,
Thanks for writing. I knew someone had done this, and was going to go
through the mail archives to see if I could figure out who, and what
they did. Thanks, you saved me a lot of time! I'll look into the
method you described below.

Mark, Gurbax,
I've installed 1.2.0~rc2 on Ubuntu 10.04 as soon as it became
available. I did not even try installing pre-compiled binary .deb
packages since I knew they weren't right for my distribution. Instead,
I built my own .deb packages from debian source packages, and then
installed those newly generated .debs.
To build my own .debs, I did something along the following lines
(typing this from memory, so it may not be quite accurate, but you'll
get the idea):
apt-get source fossology
apt-get build-dep fossology
cd fossology-1.2
debuild -i -us -uc -b
dpkg-scanpackages . | gzip -c > Packages.gz
Then add this folder to your /etc/apt/sources.list, something like this:
deb file:///<somepath>/fossology-1.2 ./
Update the apt database (apt-get update), and you should see your new
packages as ready to install with apt-get install.
I hope this helps...

Gurbax,
I don't think it is going to be easy to get FOSSology running on
ubuntu 10.04. I have tried both the server and desktop versions
for i386 and there are issues. I also have discovered that the
1.2.0-1 and 1.2.0-2 debian packages available on fossology.org
<http://fossology.org> do not install and are reported as broken
packages on 10.04.
I know that FOSSology should install clean on a Debian Lenny
system (which is what we use) or a RedHat 5.X system (which is
also what we use). I will be trying a ubuntu 8.04 server version
on Thursday. I believe that will work. Ubuntu 10.04 is new and
they seemed to have changed some things that are now breaking
FOSSology.
I am sure given some more time I can get past the 10.04 issues.
If you really want to get started using FOSSology 1.2.0 (I cannot
recommend 1.1.0), I would suggest you use either Debian Lenny,
Ubuntu 8.04 or RedHat 5.x (or CentOS). Sorry that you are having
so many issues.

Gurbax,
Thanks, that does help. That was for the 1.1.0 release that you
did that.
So far today I have downloaded the tar ball from source forge and
have tried to install fossology on 10.04 ubuntu. I am running
into issues, some may be due to my particular set up. I am
investigating the issues. Given that you installed with
packages, I plan to stop what I'm doing and restart using 1.2.0
debian packages.
I'll call you on Thursday to discuss things. Till then.
