Freeride users - Jan 2004 - [FR-users] FreeRIDE 0.6.0 Debian packages for sid (unstable)

I have packaged FreeRIDE 0.6.0 and all its associated dependencies
(libripper-ruby, libfox-ruby, libfxscintilla1) for Debian unstable
(sid).

I have only tested them in my own machine so I would like to get some
feedback before the actual release. Note that I do not expect any major
problem with the packages, since they are similar to the ones I made
for 0.5.0 which AFAIK just worked fine.

If you have a couple minutes plus the time it takes to download up to
3MB (depending on the packages you have already), you might want to give
them a try.

Please report any problems/success stories.

Short story
==========
This should work on sid. It _might_ work on woody or sarge if you drag
some dependencies from unstable (keep in mind there''s the additional
problem of the ABI -- these packages assume version 102).

cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# FreeRIDE 
deb http://freeride.rubyforge.org/debian/ deb/
deb-src http://freeride.rubyforge.org/debian/ src/
^D
apt-get update
apt-get install freeride

and run it as 
$ freeride

Rebuilding architecture-dependent packages
=========================================
There''s good chances this will work on woody or sarge, too.

cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# FreeRIDE 
deb http://freeride.rubyforge.org/debian/ deb/
deb-src http://freeride.rubyforge.org/debian/ src/
^D
apt-get update
apt-get install apt-build
apt-build install freeride

Well, it''s something I cannot control since I''m not the one
who manages
the server (hint, hint ;). I believe apt-get should still work, though... 
(did for me). If you want some info about the repository you could read

http://freeride.rubyforge.org/debian/deb/Packages
and
http://freeride.rubyforge.org/debian/src/Sources

They include the names of all the files in the repository, but I don''t
see why you would need that... you are using apt-get anyway, aren''t you
;) ?  (Specifically, don''t complain about dependencies if you dpkg -i
by hand ;-))

Was everything OK for you otherwise? Any problem with dependencies, 
freeride not running, whatever?

If we get a couple more success stories I guess the next step would be
announcing the release at ruby-talk.
