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 OpenSim 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
   

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

OpenSim 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.
