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
Or, if you'd rather be closer to the bleeding edge, you can find
recent builds of trunk at
http://pkg.knifejaw.com/ubuntu/dists/opensim/trunk/binary-i386/
These will need to be downloaded manually and installed via dpkg.
Don't use the trunk builds unless you're positive you know what you're
getting into (e.g. certain builds from trunk may be incompatible with
a grid to which you're trying to connect). If you're unsure, avoid
trunk and stick with the tagged releases above.
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.
