Subject: [sup-talk] sup Debian packages

I apologize to all for the delay in getting this out -- had to put the
project on the back burner for a while.

I've built Debian packages for sup 0.6 and related libraries. If you're
using Debian (or Ubuntu -- there shouldn't be any problems using the same
packages there), please test them out. I'd like to be completely sure
they work before going into the archive proper.

Here's the line for sources.list:

deb http://deb.rupamsunyata.org/sup/ ./

You will want to remove your local version of the gems therein. This should
do it:

sudo gem uninstall chronic lockfile mime-types trollop

Then, apt-get install sup-mail. (Yeah, not sup... name was already taken.)

(Also, I know trollop is out of date, I'll fix it.)

My repository should also be available at git.debian.org as soon as the
cron job to enable it runs.

Still stuck in NEW, unfortunately. Let me make sure the latest is up
for testing... here we go. I'm changing the URL, actually.

deb http://apt.rupamsunyata.org/sup/ ./

And while I'm at it, I'm throwing in my personally hacked-up-for-utf8
packages of libncurses-ruby, too. (In a couple minutes...)

Debian/Ubuntu people: this really should Just Work, from a dead start
(no gems), with "apt-get install sup-mail" (and "apt-get install
libncurses-ruby" if you ever use anything except ASCII...[1]) This is
how I did it, as I build/test the packages on my dev laptop and then
install them from this test repository to my Linode where I read mail,
but I'd love to hear from actual users. I'll update the wiki whenever
the package officially gets in.
