Unofficial .deb packages

2008-11-09 -- I've tested these sucessfully with Ubuntu Hardy and Intrepid. There seems to be a dependency issue with Debian; I'll try to sort that out soon. --coyled

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, Regions/*.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.

To install the latest tagged release (e.g. 0.6.0), add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

   deb http://pkg.knifejaw.com/ubuntu opensim releases

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.
