Good news on Booktype dependencies in Debian/Ubuntu

[Daniel James]

Hi all,

I found out that Debian will include python-unidecode in wheezy onwards:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-unidecode

This was the last Booktype 1.6.x dependency that Debian/Ubuntu didn't
have as a standard package. So now it will be possible to install
Booktype on Debian/Ubuntu without needing any manual command-line
operations.

In theory it will be possible to ask the user anything we need to know
via debconf, but in practice we cannot assume that postgres will be
running when Booktype is installed (for example if Booktype is installed
as part of a distro, before the first reboot). So we will probably have
to have some script that the user runs to create an individual Booktype
instance in /var/www/mybooktype or wherever, and reload Apache.

Cheers!

Daniel
