Announcement: FBReader beta 0.11.0 (for linux desktop computers)

[geometer]

Hi All,

After a long time new FBReader version has been released. This version
contains some important changes of internal FBReader structure so
we're not sure all the features work good enough. So this release is
marked as 'beta' and is released only for the linux i386 platform at
the moment.

If you want to help us with fixing the bugs in this release please
install this version and report you problems here in the group or in
the FBReader bug tracker: http://www.fbreader.org/mantis/

At the moment FBReader 0.11.0 is available in 2 formats: as Debian/
Ubuntu packages (both binary i386 and sources) and as a source
tarball.

Release notes and download links are available at http://www.fbreader.org/beta.php

Best Regards,

-- Nikolay

Uhm, one question.
http://www.fbreader.org/desktop/debian
seems to give me a 404, is it a problem on your end or mine?

[geometer]

Hmm, do you mean to install packages on your debian system? Just add a
line
http://www.fbreader.org/desktop/debian/ beta main
into the /etc/apt/sources.list file (or may be add this line using a
UI program).

Sorry, fault on my part, tried to access the non-existent amd64
packages.
Any chance of amd64 packages coming up?
Alternatively is there any way to get it to run on my system?
If you did not already notice I installed my first linux dist a couple
of days ago, so sorry for my incompetence.

I would suggest setting up an Ubuntu Private Package Archive:
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA

This way you'd get binary debs built for x86 and for amd64.

There's also the OpenSUSE Build Service, which can build packages for
many distributions; but I'm less familiar with that one.

Building Debian packages from sources isn't very difficult (although it
is a bit of a hassle).

Add

deb-src http://www.fbreader.org/desktop/debian stable main

to /etc/apt/sources.list. Run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts
sudo apt-get build-dep fbreader
sudo apt-get source fbreader
cd fbreader-*
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i fbreader-*.deb

I haven't tested this; it's possible that you'd have to build and
install the two dependencies (library and linebreak) before you can
build fbreader itself.
