Ubuntu

Revision as of 03:59, 22 November 2009

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

Advantages

• Source packages that compile into binary. Suitable for a debian based distro.
  
• Keep your world between package upgrades.
• Package an stable release (0.6.7). Good if you need some stability.
  
• 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
  
• 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.
  
• Available for ubuntu karmic (current stable) and lucid (development).

For the latest installation instructions and procedures to run the opensimulator server, please check the original packages website.
