### install e17 from packages.enlightenment.org repo

by meandean » Wed Apr 13, 2011 12:10 am

install (older version) e17 from packages.enlightenment.org repo
edit (create if needed) /etc/apt/sources.list and add

Code: Select all
  `deb http://packages.enlightenment.org/debian squeeze main extras`

adjust if not using squeeze
edit (create if needed) /etc/apt/preferences and add

Code: Select all
  `Package: *
  Pin: origin packages.enlightenment.org
  Pin-Priority: 600`

apt-get update
apt-get install e17
That should get you the default e17 desktop.

  `wget http://packages.enlightenment.org/repo.key
  apt-key add repo.key`

Was anyone able to install e17 from their repo (or easy_e17.sh) in the last time?
I know i was not. I installed it from the Sid-repo (testing and sid), and it does the job.
That is not an option for my refracta[s], as i want it to stay stable.
On a site note it reminds me why i mainly gave up on it, and use xfce for my daily usage now...

I had no problem following this howto with 606beta2. It worked fine and dandy.
I no longer use e17 either and I think xfce is going to be my main desktop albeit a very slimmed down xfce.

As it worked in the past, i didn't do the pinning
(Once it stopped working it should have jumped in the eye, but.... stubborness and all).
Thanks, install went fine on the last stable/official/non-beta refracta release

Yep, you have to setup the preferences file.
I believe the reason is that a couple files are in the debian repo and conflict with what is in the enlightenment repo. Of course it has been a while since I did this but I think that is the reason it needs to be done that way.
You will find that the need to setup the preferences file sometimes applies to using other 3rd party repos also.
Of course anymore I guess it should be something like /etc/apt/preferences.d/00whatever or something similar but /etc/apt/preferences still works.
