Debian Lenny

[digitlman]

Hello,

I just changed my SheevaPlug to Debian Lenny, and even using the SID/Expermental sources, the latest version of the package is 4.11. 

I tried to download the v5 source and run it, but I wans't successful.

Any idea when a Debian (lenny) version 5 will be avail?

Most likely never. On Debian Lenny, your best chance is to try and use the Ubuntu PPA, with a small change to the usual instructions:

Instead of

Code: Select all

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ppa/ubuntu $(lsb_release -c -s) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

you would have to manually substitute the Ubuntu release name where it now says $(lsb_release -c -s). Best choice is probably hardy for systems running Debian lenny:

Code: Select all

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ppa/ubuntu hardy main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

Remainder of the instructions can be used as is. No warranty, but do report back so others can benefit from this info as well.

Whoops.

I had a large brain fart and misnamed my distro.

I'm actually using squeeze, not lenny.

I know squeeze is still a testing, experimental build, but it was damn easy to install on my Sheevaplug.

What should I use for this distro?
