What if you want to deviate from what the "packages" installation does? In the open source world, it has been my experience that a "tarball" installation is always preferred, since it allows you install anywhere, not just Debian. On 21 August 2013 22:30, Mark Tompsett <mtompset@hotmail.com> wrote:
Greetings,
As of Koha 3.4.x debian packages were available. That's just over 2 years ago. Koha has progressed so much further. Tarballs are not the recommended installation method for debian-based versions of linux (e.g. Ubuntu). Much nicer and more current installation instructions are available here: http://wiki.koha-community.**org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_**packages<http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages>
No matter how boldly or coloured you make the text, people won't read. And this will only cause confusion and problems.
Just my unsolicited commentary on the provision of a really bad set of instructions on how to set Koha up.
