Installation
There are 2 types of files to download from this website, .deb and .tar.gz files. A .deb is a GNU/Debian packagefile and a .tar.gz file is a source tarball. Below you find instructions how to install the software.Debian packagefiles
Download the .deb file to your computer. Become root on that system and use
dpkg -i <.deb file>
to install the package. Another way to install a package from this website is to add 'deb http://projects.leisink.org/ sarge main' if you are using Debian 3.1 Sarge or 'deb http://projects.leisink.org/ etch main' if you are using Debian 4.0 Etch to /etc/apt/sources.list and use
apt-get update
apt-get install <packagename>
to install a package. This method is preferrable, because you'll automaticly receive updates when you use
apt-get upgrade
Warning! The upgrades you receive this way are new versions of the pacakges, not just security fixes. There is a chance that a new version of a package will not work with an older configuration file. If possible, I will add a scripts which will automaticly update the configurationfile, but no guarantee is given.
Note: from some source-packages, a debian package can be build by using
make debian-package
Source tarballs
Unpack the tarball with 'tar -xzf <.tar.gz file>', change to the unpacked directory, and use
./configure [--prefix=<destination directory>]
make
make install
to build and install the package.
