− | I'm trying to have opensimulator in the Ubuntu universe repositories. The [[UnofficialDebPackages|unofficial .deb packages]] linked in this wiki are ok for regular installs but not for ubuntu inclusion, so I have created new source packages. <br>

− | == Pros ==
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *Source packages that compile into binary. Suitable for a debian based distro.<br>
| + | |
− | *They package an stable release (0.6.7). Good if you need some stability.<br>
| + | |
− | *When accepted (still waiting for approval...), integrated in the Ubuntu universe repositories. This means a big new userbase that can easily find and test the software. We expect to port it to other .deb based distros <br>
| + | |
− | *Focus in integrating the software with the operating system rather than adding new features, that can allow out-of-the-box configuration and deployment of servers.<br>
| + | |
− | *It is not only Ubuntu, but all .deb based distributions.<br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | == Cons ==
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | *You will have to wait a bit more for "big" releases. Use the regular binary packages for that.<br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <br>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | If you want to install them for testing just:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Copy the lines below and add them to your system's software sources.
| + | |
− | <blockquote>
| + | |
− | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/shankao/opensimulator/ubuntu karmic main
| + | |
− | deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/shankao/opensimulator/ubuntu karmic main
| + | |
− | </blockquote>
| + | |
− | Then, you can use your preferred package manager (i.e. synaptic, apt-get, aptitude) to install the program, marked as opensimulator-server.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | == Running the server ==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | After installing the software:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * ''cd /usr/lib/opensimulator''
| + | |
− | * Run as root: "''mono OpenSim.exe''". You can use ''sudo'' for this.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Logs go to /var/log/opensimulator and there are some docs in /usr/share/doc/opensimulator-server/
