Hi Gijs, thank you very much, these are great news. I just finished installing in my ubuntu 8.04 both xquery with monet4 and sql with monet5. Everything worked fine for me! One small comment is that it seems that you have compiled the client package without the readline support (libreadline), which just makes the mclient little harder to use since there is no history and editing with arrow keys:) Other than that everything seem to work great:) thank you again! lefteris On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 6:42 PM, Stefan Manegold wrote:

Hi Gijs,

good news. Thank you very much!

Just one question for clarity:

Which version of the code base did you use for your Ubuntu packages?

The latest released sources, i.e, "MonetDB-Aug2008-SuperBall.tar.bz2" from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56967&package_id=244918 respctively http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb/Download/index.html ?

That would be the "correct" one ...

Hello everyone,

I'm working on precompiled Ubuntu packages for MonetDB, which can be found here:

https://launchpad.net/~monetdb/+archive

These packages are meant for Ubuntu users who don't want to compile monetdb on every Ubuntu system where they want to use this software.

You can install the packages and automatically update to new released packages by adding the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

--- 8< cut here --- deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/monetdb/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/monetdb/ubuntu hardy main -------------------

These packages are quite 'fresh' and not fully tested and completed, but the basics should work fine. If you want to test them out or/and you have some comments, feel free to contact me.

Note that these packages are not signed due to a limitation in launchpad.

This should be fixed by now, you can update to the new package running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. If there are any more problems let me know. -- Gijs Molenaar http://gijs.pythonic.nl
