New Debian/Ubuntu repository!

Desktop wxRuby
1

Greetings all,

I am happy to announce the opening of my own personal repository to
store
packages in for Debian/Ubuntu. Chiefly amongst these, is the new deb
package for wxRuby! This will solve the issues that people have been
having
attempting to install wxruby from the gem on Ubuntu 9.10 and later. To
setup this apt-repository on your Debian / Ubuntu system, simply run the
following commands:

wget -q http://repo.trilake.net/apt/repo.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://repo.trilake.net/apt/sources.list.d/lucid.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/trilake.list

Once you do the above, simply execute:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wxruby

To install the wxRuby 2.0.1 deb package on your system. Currently, only
a
32bit version is available, but I will be updating my repository with a
64bit version once I have the package built on my server.

Any questions, comments, suggestions, what have you, please feel free to
email me.

L8ers,

Mario

Mario - this is great news, thanks for working on this. I’m looking
forward to trying this out when I get home.

Thank you Alex, due to the nature in which we build wxRuby, it was a
pain in
the wazoo to get setup properly to where I could create a deb file for
it.

A new update to the repository, I have added a wxsugar package to my
repository, so you can now get wxruby and wxsugar from the same
repository.
This repository will help with people needing an easy and familiar way
to
install the wxRuby package on systems that they are developing on, as
well
as setting up a way for easy distribution on Debain based Linux systems.
If
you have an application that you want to package as a deb, or want to
include in my repository, please feel free to email me off-list, and I
will
help out in any way I can.
