[OGo-Users] OGo trunk install on debian sid - not possible from, packages!

[Mark Pavlichuk]

  Sid is a moving target, and I don't think enough people use those 
packages for them to be regularly tested anyway.  If you have an etch 
machine you could try installing on that...  a working installation took 
some time for me to get running as some manual interventions were 
required.  It took a while for me to find up-to-date information (this 
list was quite helpful).  I have some untidy hand written notes from my 
time installing it.  Hopefully the information is still relevant, though 
it probably isn't complete - I'm including it below :

----------
  Links need to be created to the /etc/init.d/opengroupware script so it 
will run in the required runlevels...  for instance I put a link called 
S92opengroupware in runlevels 2 through to 5.  Also, be sure your 
default shell is bash - apparently there are some shell scripts with 
bashisms.

  If you want OpenGroupware to run with the latest database and 
webserver versions available in etch, ie. Postgres 8.1 and/or Apache 2 
some extra steps may be required.  Firstly the package manager may try 
to install old versions of Apache and Postgres.  Override this.  Also 
make sure libapache2-mod-ngobjweb is installed instead of 
libapache-mod-ngobjweb.  The opengroupware.org-environment, 
opengroupware.org-webmain-tools and opengroupware.org-skyaptnotify may 
also need manual intervention to be installed.  You may need to manually 
enable the rewrite and include modules for Apache2 :

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load
ln -s ../mods-available/include.load
----------

  Hopefully this is still relevant and helpful.
