Now also available for Ubuntu edgy and feisty on i386 (thanks to Frank Siegert)

        deb http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root edgy root 
        deb-src http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root edgy root
        deb http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root feisty root 
        deb-src http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root feisty root
        

Note: libroot-python-dev may be un-installable. If so, please do not write me on this. Frank and I are looking into it.

Note: Debian GNU/Linux testing/stable (lenny/etch) users may have more luck with the Ubuntu edgy repository than the Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid) repository.

• IMPORTANT NOTICE - IMPORTANT NOTICE - IMPORTANT NOTICE -

Many of the packages have changed names. In particular

        root-bin		-> root-system-bin
        root-doc		-> root-system-doc
        root-rootd		-> root-system-rootd
        root-xrootd		-> root-system-xrootd
        root-proofd		-> root-system-proofd
        root-common		-> root-system-common

and I have taken _no_ provisions to make this update smooth. Hence you should completely de-install previous (pre 5.15.07-2) packages before installing the new ones. If not, you will get all sorts of conflicts with overriden files, etc. You have been warned.

The name change was done in an effort to make packages that complies with the Debian FTP masters naming policy. These packages are target for the `experimental' distribution and it is our hope that they will be accepted soon into that distribution. From there, the road to the `main' distribution goes via a production release of ROOT (scheduled for June 27) and a clean built of that.

Yours,
