Ubuntu package #183

Closed rking closed 10 years ago

rking commented 11 years ago

I just found out that apt-get install the_silver_searcher works not.

Who is the best person to start fixing this?

ggreer commented 11 years ago

Not me, although others are welcome to try. Also, the binary name ag conflicts with an existing Ubuntu package. Apparently a semi-obscure Python atomic simulation library got the name first.

If you're on Ubuntu, installing a deb from http://swiftsignal.com/packages/ubuntu/ (linked in the README) is the easiest way right now.

dplarson commented 11 years ago

Adding onto what @ggreer said, you can install the .deb file using dpkg. First download a .deb file from http://swiftsignal.com/packages/ubuntu/ and then install it:

dpkg -i the-silver-searcher_0.14-1_amd64.deb

replacing the-silver-searcher_0.14-1_amd64.deb with whatever version you're actually using/downloaded..

rking commented 11 years ago

Yeah. I just want to see that package on the default repositories.

I don't know what the rules are for making that happen on Ubuntu, since it's so widely installed.

I don't think there's a problem with the other binary being ag. There's a resolution system, "alternatives", in Debian... I'm not sure if it's even necessary. You can probably just say "whichever is installed 2nd gets the /usr/bin/ag spot".

Hey. I've created a PPA on Launchpad.

Install the latest stable in Ubuntu 13.04:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pgolm/the-silver-searcher
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install the-silver-searcher
sfischer13 commented 10 years ago

I guess this issue can be closed. There is now a Debian/Ubuntu package: silversearcher-ag

apt-get install silversearcher-ag

@danielbayerlein Launchpad is available for me. You find the debs here. But I don't build packages at the moment. If you are on Ubuntu 13.10 you should use the package from universe.

@pgolm

I use Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS, that is probably the problem.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pgolm/the-silver-searcher

Now I have compiled yourself. Thanks.

@chenyangguang this is not a problem with ag:
