Re: [be] BE 3.4 is packaged

[Doug Glidden]

Any chance of using this package to update the Debian repository as well?  I don't think the package should need to change significantly, just a matter of getting up on the repo.  There is already a BE package (http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=bibledit), but it's long out of date (version 2.2 in testing and unstable, 1.9 in stable).  I'm CCing Daniel Glassey, the listed maintainer of the package, in case he can give some help on how to go about updating the package.

I've been wanting to do this myself for a while, but I just don't have the know-how.

Greetings,

This is to let you all know that Bibledit 3.4 is packaged in .deb form for use in Unubntu 8.04. It has been deposited in the SIL package repository found at packages.sil.org. Point your Synaptic package manager at:

deb http://packages.sil.org/ubuntu hardy main

This is my first attempt at packaging. All I can say is it works for me.:-) I even have it installed on an Asus Eee here in our office. Many thanks to Martin Hosken for his help with helping me learn the process. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to do this quicker.

Thanks,

Dennis
