The ruby gem fetched is tiddlywikicp
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/tiddlywikicp/)

Which is needed for "building" the final html pages from sources.

Installation steps could be extracted from debian packaging scripts
contained in:
http://upstream.jspoker.pokersource.info/file/4c52ac11eaf1/debian/

And consist mainly on copying apache conf files from:
http://upstream.jspoker.pokersource.info/file/4c52ac11eaf1/debian/apache2/

And installing jpoker subdirectory in /usr/share

Debian packaging scripts layout:
Files to install, (syntax source destination):
http://upstream.jspoker.pokersource.info/file/4c52ac11eaf1/debian/jpoker.install
Symlink to create (syntax target link_name):
http://upstream.jspoker.pokersource.info/file/4c52ac11eaf1/debian/jpoker.links
Commands to run at post installation step:
http://upstream.jspoker.pokersource.info/file/4c52ac11eaf1/debian/jpoker.postinst
Commands to run at pre removal step:
http://upstream.jspoker.pokersource.info/file/4c52ac11eaf1/debian/jpoker.prerm
Commands to run at post removal step:
http://upstream.jspoker.pokersource.info/file/4c52ac11eaf1/debian/jpoker.postrm

Let me know how to improve cross packaging system installation.
