a 'package' is a .deb file, see -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deb_(file_format) a 'tar ball' is a tar file , see -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(file_format) http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Building_Debian_Packages_-_The_Easy_Way http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
