UnofficialDebPackages

Unofficial .deb (i386) packages
Currently tested with:

* Debian lenny * Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) * Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) * Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)

These are packages I (coyled) created and use to run an assortment of regions in OSGrid (though there's nothing OSGrid-specific in these packages). You're welcome to use, but please back up your OpenSim.ini, *.xml, *.db, and other important files before installing, just in case. But I use these packages on a regular basis, and they work fine for me.

Here you'll find repositories of three different flavors:

"releases" -- official versioned releases (e.g. 0.6.3)

"testing" -- the SVN revision number which is "recommended" for OSGrid region admins each week during the OpenSimulator developer office hours on Wright Plaza

"unstable" -- an SVN revision number close to HEAD, usually no more than a couple days old -- this may contain untested changes and/or breakage (Note: all are Dead links)

For Debian users, depending on which repository you choose above, add one of:

deb http://pkg.knifejaw.com/debian opensim releases modules or: deb http://pkg.knifejaw.com/debian opensim testing modules or: deb http://pkg.knifejaw.com/debian opensim unstable modules

to your /etc/apt/sources.list.

For Ubuntu users, depending on which repository you choose above, add one of:

deb http://pkg.knifejaw.com/ubuntu opensim releases modules or: deb http://pkg.knifejaw.com/ubuntu opensim testing modules or: deb http://pkg.knifejaw.com/ubuntu opensim unstable modules

to your /etc/apt/sources.list.

Then run:

# apt-get update # apt-get install opensimulator

OpenSimulator will be installed in /usr/lib/opensim, logs will appear in /var/log/opensim , and it'll create an opensim user & group. It doesn't install any start/stop scripts, as people tend to have different preferences on how to do that.
