Hi, friends.

Is there some guide for the RT-3.8.8 installation on Debian lenny?

I already downloaded the .tar.gz, but now what?

Att,

Hi Wagner,

Rather than installing from source you might like to look at installing
using the Debian packages. request-tracker3.8 isn’t available in lenny
proper, but it is in Debian backports:

http://backports.debian.org/
http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny-backports/backports/request-tracker3.8

Installing the package should guide through through initial configuration,
but make sure you look at /usr/share/doc/request-tracker3.8/README.Debian
and the other documents in that directory too.

Cheers,
Dominic.

Hi Dominic and the others,

I really thank your reply but, after Jesse said at >
RT 4 - An update — Best Practical Solutions,
I decided to wait for the RT 4, the Jesse’s Xmas gift!

Why wait? Start building RT4 Debian packages!

Just my 2 cents :-).
