Diaspora Package Testing

This is very early version of diaspora package and not recommended for production yet.

Setup Debian Unstable environment

You have to setup a debian unstable system (you could setup it as a virtual machine if you want). You'll have to install debian testing from debian.org and then upgrade to unstable.

You can also use pbuilder to setup a debian unstable environment

# pbuilder create
# pbuilder login

Enable experimental suite and install packages from there

Once you have debian unstable, enable experimental repo.

# echo deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main >>/etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update

Install the following packages from experimental

# aptitude -t experimental install ruby-compass-rails ruby-handlebars-assets \
ruby-rails-i18n ruby-redcarpet ruby-omniauth ruby-typhoeus ruby-gon \
ruby-rack-piwik ruby-rack-ssl ruby-ethon ruby-excon

List of packages you need are here

Enable diaspora unreleased repo and install diaspora

Enable diaspora-unreleased repository

# apt-get install apt-transport-https
# echo deb http://people.debian.org/~praveen/diaspora-unreleased unstable main >>/etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update

then install diaspora

# apt-get install diaspora

Verify bundler can see all dependencies

Go to /usr/share/diaspora

# cd /usr/share/diaspora
# bundle install --local

There is more work to do.

See below for the team effort to package the dependencies of Diaspora and Diaspora itself for Debian.
