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... -Drago On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 10:20 AM, Mark Donohoe <[email protected]> wrote: > Gurbax, > > I don't think it is going to be easy to get FOSSology running on ubuntu > 10.04.
