Debian from source

This technique of installing EPrints allows you build your own debian package for eprints from our source (of the binary).

Configuring APT

Using your favorite text editor edit "/etc/apt/sources.list" and add the lines:

 deb http://deb.eprints.org/ unstable/
 deb-src http://deb.eprints.org/ source/

The update your apt

 root@host$ apt-get update

Install build dependancies

This can now be done with one command:

 root@host$ apt-get build-dep eprints

Get EPrints source

 root@host$ apt-get source eprints

This will provide you with a tar.gz which is extracted to the current directory.
