Ok. we are closer, but not enough. Building from source seems to be good, as far doing it from CVS, which seems to bring with him the "debian" directory.

Later I'll try also the suggestion coming from wuischke, which seems to be less "cut&paste"

I guess that my last problem deals with the upnp library. The matter happens with both CVS and source. Read this:

WARNING! UPnP code has been disabled because libupnp >= 1.6.6 not found (version 1.4.3 is not new enough).

I can see that hardy bring with him this version of libupnp. Lately I'll do the same with gutsy, where is even lower. Have you some workaround to suggest in order to get upnp working?

Bye
Luca

[Vollstrecker]

If you have such an old distro, you should use the stable dir from my repo. In there are upnp packages which should install fine.

Thank you for your help: it's very appreciated, since I know so little about packaging and compiling for linux. By the way, this is giving a boost to my personal culture in this field, which is always a good thing.

Now I'm still trying to obtain a package structure similar to the one belonged to Festor's work which is distributed on his http://ppa.launchpad.net/festor90/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages : 

p   amule                                           - client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule         
p   amule-common                                    - common files for the rest of aMule packages               
p   amule-daemon                                    - non-graphic version of aMule, a client for the eD2k and Ka
p   amule-utils                                     - utilities for aMule (command-line version)               
p   amule-utils-gui                                 - graphic utilities for aMule               

Everytime I instruct the computer to build up packages, I obtain a huge quantity of small object, ranging from skins to languages, to main program and so on. I believe that in Festor method such small things are melted together, and I'll find the way to assemble then in the same fashion.

Maybe, later, I'll send a pm to Festor asking him for some clarification.

Alas, my work is going on slowly since I'm going to get married in few day, and I have a bunch of things to organize... Maybe, this evening I'll have some spare time to spend around amule.

Click randomly in this forum, I sought that wuischke lives really near me. Maybe I'll exploit our neighborhoodness to get some extra-clues

Have a good day.

Hi Luca,

Festor is using a different Debian folder, based upon the Ubuntu one. Vollstrecker likes to separate many things, therefore you get a package for every item. Adapting the "old" Ubuntu debian folder shouldn't be difficult as not so many things should have changed lately.

I live currently in Turin (until 1 October ), maybe 2-4 hours from your probable location. If you live in a nice place, I would love to visit you, because I only passed through in train when travelling from Florence to Milano and I would like to get to know as much of Italy as I can while I'm here.

kind regards

We are going a little bit off topic...

We (me and my fiancee) live really near you. We will be glad to meet to meet you, as soon as we will be less busy with our wedding.

I'll send you, via private message, more details.

The debian-dir was excluded in 2.2.2
The easiest way to get the debs working is to rebuild my sources. Download these three files:

http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/dists/testing/amule-stable/source/amule_2.2.2-1.diff.gz
http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/dists/testing/amule-stable/source/amule_2.2.2-1.dsc
http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/dists/testing/amule-stable/source/amule_2.2.2.orig.tar.gz

I hope the testing ones work in ubuntu, if not, try same files from the stable dir.

dpkg-source -x amule_2.2.2-1.dsc
cd  into the new dir
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot (Or if you want them to be signed: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -k<your-secret-key-id>)

This creates the debs. Maybe you can reuse the sources, too. I don't know if they get changed. By now I have some problems with build of xas-pkg when -b is used.

Hy Vollstrecker, i followed your tutorial and all goes ok (amule 2.2.2-1 on an Ubuntu Server 8.04, aMule GUI win32).
Only one minor problem remain. If i try to access to amuleweb, i received a warning:

You are seeing this page instead of aMuleWeb login page because a valid template has not been found.

This probably means that there's a problem with your aMule installation

    * Before installing new versions, please ensure that you uninstalled older versions of aMule.
    * If you are installing by compiling from source, check configuration and run "make" and "make install" again
    * If you are installing by using a precompiled package, you may need to contact the package maintainer

For more information please visit

aMule main site or aMule forums

The installed packages are:

xxyy@xxyyserver:~$ dpkg -l|grep -i amule
ii  amule-daemon                           2.2.2-1                                  the amule daemon
ii  amule-i18n-en-gb                       2.2.2-1                                  English (en_GB) internationalized (i18n) files for amule
ii  amule-i18n-it                          2.2.2-1                                  Italian (it) internationalized (i18n) files for amule
ii  amule-theme-chicane                    2.2.2-1                                  a new template set for the webserver
ii  amuleweb                               2.2.2-1                                  the webserver for amule

I installed amule-theme-chicane becouse i found on internet someone says: "the template is a virtual template contained on amule-theme-chicane", but no success after installed it.
Can you (or someone else) help me, please?

Many thanks.

[Vollstrecker]

I don't understand the sentence you quoted, but iirc the default one is the php-template, and if you want to use another one, you have to write this into the config.

[mipland]

The sentence i quoted was the ONLY output i obtained pointing my firefox to http://<amule server ip>:4711/
Now i installed the amule-theme-php-default_2.2.2-1_i386.deb package and the web side work correctly!

Thanks Vollstrecker!

[Vollstrecker]

I talked about the virtual template sentence.

He switched to Debian, asI would suggest to any Ubuntu user. But that's another discussion.

Hi Vollstrecker, I am a one-year-old Ubuntu enthusiastic user, and from I read your "quoted" declaration I begun to be a little concerned:

I'm asking myself: why a Debian (and Ubuntu) expert is saying that? Am I wasting my time going deeply, day by day, on the Ubuntu platform instead of switching to Debian?

My actual "un-expert" feeling is that Ubuntu (Hardy)  is the best operating system ever seen and ever used by me,  after the Ubuntu discovery, when I have to approach again the Windows O.S.  ( due to the loss of  linux-versions or compatibility related problems), I directly experience all the  inadequacy of that proprietary platform.

If  I had just to think to change operating system, I would be very worried.

Could you please tell me something more of  what you think when suggesting Ubuntu users tho switch to Debian?

thank tou.   

[Vollstrecker]

As I said, this is another solution, but for a hint, it's based on debian, which patches the pkg's, and ubuntu patches them again. A patch on a patch is never good, at least if you want to talk to orig developers (libcrypto works in debian, but doesn't in Ubuntu which causes problems with amule). And why should you use a derivate when you can have the original. By the as Ubuntu was started, they said the users shouldn't have to choose between so many apps for one job, so they get not so many apps for this job. Are you sure they decided the right way for you?
As I already said, this is another discussion that shouldn't be argued here. The points mentioned above should be enough in here.

Hi everybody!!

Debian Stable => Too old for PC desktops (recommed for servers)

Debian Testing => The best for PC desktop (more than Ubuntu)

Debian Unstable  => Ubuntu is here (too unstable  )

Debian Experimental => More unstable than Ubuntu 

But if you want aMule deb packages for Ubuntu, try with http://www.getdeb.net/app/aMule

I've an old laptop pc. Someone could help me build amule in xubuntu ? Only version 2.1.3 is avaible on xubuntu

Hi!

Where is deb package for amule-utils (ed2k program is not present in the deb in getdeb.org).

I think you could use the amule-utils package of the old version, the one available in the official repository.
I think...but someone could say if I'm right or not.
