Hi Magnus This depends, do you intend to have an "original tarball" installation wiki page? If so, will there be one for each stable version of Koha and a version for each upgrade? Cheers hg On 22 August 2013 09:42, Magnus Enger <magnus@enger.priv.no> wrote:

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.
"There is more than one way to do it", sure. And documentation is always welcome. But why not put it on the official Koha wiki, where it will receive (at least some degree of) peer review, improvements from the whole community and a lasting home?
Having instructions created by individuals littered all over the web quickly leads to stale information, people following wrong or outdated instructions and in the end getting a bad impression of Koha. So maybe you could copy your wiki page over to the official wiki, link to it from your wiki, and we can all collaborate to ensure it has maximum usefullness?
