Hello.
I want to install CouchDB (couchdb.apache.org) on my bubba2 server. Sadly, there is no version available in the repositories, and since the development on CouchDB is in a rapid progress I don't want to use
a (too) old version.
But installing from source did not look that bad, so I gave it a shot. Problem seems to be that the available version on Erlang (1:11.b.2-4) is too old. I need 1.12B or later.
Installing one package by hand is not that bad, but having to install a bunch of packages by hand is not an ideal solution.
There are newer Erlang packages available for lenny, but I am not sure if it is possible (or a good idea) to use them.
So does anyone have any good pointers on how to deal with the need of newer packages?
TIA,
/Torbjörn

The need for CouchDB and Erlang
Re: The need for CouchDB and Erlang
as long as the package is PPC or noarch, it should be fine.
There are several different ways to do it, from adding the right repo to your sources and installing, or just downloading the .deb file and manually installing it. It depends on your experience really.
Check the erlang details online first and see if you are getting into a dependencies nightmare
