Create a Debian repostiory at ISIS

[Martyn Gigg]

We require a Debian repository, similar to our current RPM repository, to host some of the Mantid dependencies that are not present in the standard Ubuntu repositories. In particular, for Ubuntu 10.04, this is:

• libNeXus0 and
• google-pertools, which is broken for Ubuntu 10.04.

(In [12976]) Remove outdate libtcmalloc packages. Newer ones will be placed in the ISIS apt repository. Refs #3243

[Martyn Gigg]

We now have an official release and testing repository for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04).

To test the stable build repository add

deb http://apt.isis.rl.ac.uk lucid main

to /etc/apt/source.list and type 'sudo apt-get update' followed by 'sudo apt-get install mantid'

Similarly for developement builds repo add

deb http://apt.isis.rl.ac.uk lucid-testing main

to /etc/apt/source.list and type the same commands.

The official repository contains the following packages at present are:

• libgoogle-perftools-1.7: This is the package from Ubuntu Natty Narwhal rebuilt for Lucid
• libunwind-0.99: This is the package from Ubuntu Natty Narwhal rebuilt for Lucid as libgoogle-perftools depends on it
• mantid-developer: A meta-package that installs all of the dependencies required for a developer to build Mantid (currently not VATES)
• Last release package

In [13288]:

Correct the name of the google-perftools package for debian. Also added the files to build a mantid-developer package for debian and put this along with the RPM spec file into a sub-directory of Mantid/Build. Refs #3243

I can install packages ok using this repo.
