Leo now apt-gettable (jaunty ppa)

[Ville M. Vainio]

One step closer to easy availablity & world domination ;-)

I created a ppa for leo, and it apparently succeeded. That is, the
build machines at Ubuntu were able to build our source debs.

So far, this only works with Jaunty.

Testers needed. Add these files to you /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/villemvainio/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/villemvainio/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

(yes, it's not under leo-editor team at the moment. We'll sort that
out before final release)

Then, run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install leo

And run "leo" from command prompt.

I'm afraid this won't change the life of us "bzr pull"-ers much, but
it will be a boon for more conservative users that want the "latest
safe version" - that is, we can easily make a "micro-release" by just
pushing the latest code to PPA, instead of requiring users to find the
"sweet spot" themselves.

The fact that Ubuntu ppa build machines were able to make the binary
deb from our source deb is great milestone as well - it means we are
not (optimistically) *that* far from getting leo to Ubuntu 'universe'
repos at some point.

Yes indeed.

Testers needed. Add these files to you /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/villemvainio/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/villemvainio/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

...

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install leo

This works for me.  It installs in /usr/share/python-support/leo.

And run "leo" from command prompt.

I had to disable my alias for "leo" first :-)

Many thanks for this work.

Very nice. I just want to share that if someone is using Arch Linux. Leo
is available from the Arch User Repository (AUR) and is working like a
charm.
