Re: [AG-TECH] update - AG3 for Debian/Ubuntu




Chris,

You sir, are a star :) Thank you so much for looking into this. I noticed too that over the weekend that etch is the new stable release of Debian. I hope that won't cause too many problems, not that I'm upgrading my Sarge machines just yet.

Derek,

In the meantime, I found a way to repackage the existing AG2.3 .deb and change the dependencies without a complete rebuild - the new version ran OK with wxgtk2.6, as we need it to, but it couldn't connect to any venues i.e. useless.

However I was able to use the same technique to use an existing AG2.4 package (built for another Linux distribution) to construct a new AG2.4 .deb package. This works properly and it more or less works together with a new AG3 package I have in progress. There are some kinks (not bugs) still to be ironed out before I can release them, but I can't work on that for a few days i.e. they should be available sometime this coming week.


BTW, to properly deinstall the AG2.3 package, the packages:
    accessgrid2.3
    wxgtk2.4
should be libwxgtk2.4

wxgtk2.4-python
should be libwxgtk2.4-python

globusdatamanaggcc32gcc32dbgpthr3.0.2
should all be removed. Then, AG3 can be installed (with better features anyway)


Until the new packages are ready, you could still try the existing AG3 package if you properly deinstall your AG2.3 package (as above - note corrections). You can always reinstall the AG2.3 package if you need to, but you may find the facilities in AG3 too good to want to go back :)
