This thread ends with: "I can validate this. I also ran into this a
couple of days ago. OGo 1.1.6 install fine, but 1.0 fails - on out of
the box Debian Sarge with nothing extra installed"

What version are you trying to install?  You probably don't want version
1.0.  Unfortunately there are no Debian packages for the current
development builds more current than May 2008.

Could you please post a sources.lst which will download the 1.1.6
version as opposed to 1.0.0 ??

Mine is currently :

# Ogo
deb http://download.opengroupware.org/nightly/packages/debian sarge
trunk

Also would you recommend using the 1.1.6 in a production environment ?
Is there a procedure listed anywhere that someone could make their own
deb packages from the current version ?

Thanks

What is described in the mentioned thread is all I know;  I don't use or
support Debian, so I no very little about it.

Yes.  Actually, we update to TRUNK on our production servers.  The OGo
code-base is VERY mature and things very rarely get broken.
Unfortunately actual "releases" are very rare.  In general OGo's
packaging needs to be revisted.

See the description of OGo versions in WMOGAG.
<http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view>
WMOGAG is the most complete OGo documentation available.

It shouldn't be terribly hard assuming Debian packages works at all like
RPM packaging.  For info on building openSUSE RPMs see
<http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/misc/BuildingOGoPackagesForSUSE/view?searchterm=rpm>.
There are Debian packaging bits in the Maintenance directory of the
source,  that might be helpful;  it is where my original (now modified)
SPEC files for RPM came from.

I have a side project to move OGo packaging to Novell's build servers
(osc) which apparently will also build Debian packages if provided with
the correct information. <https://build.opensuse.org>.  I've only gotten
as far as building SOPE RPMs due to lack of time.
