Need install to personal filestore or create a deb file

[russel]

The install script installs into the systems area. Many, including myself, do not allow installation to the system area without package management. Thus either there needs to be an easy script to install to an individuals $HOME and/or a way of creating a deb file for installation via aptitude.

I will work on figuring out where to place some things in $HOME, though I am not sure that will work for some of the syntax highlighting stuff. Creating a deb or getting this included into aptitude are really a bit beyond what I care to bother with honestly, unless I am mistaken and doing that would be pretty easy. the https://github.com/gmate/gmate package includes some of what you might be looking for and I try to keep the code in that repo in sync with this one

Is there also a GNOME2 -> GNOME3 issue?

I think that a deb file is the way to go, it should be fairly straightforward. What GMate is doing is to use the Ubuntu PPA which is great for Ubuntu folk but not as useful for Debian folk and others using deb-based distributions. Much better to do a standalone deb for all deb-based distributions. At Gr8Conf I am hoping we can a sprint together to create a deb create task for Gradle so as to avoid using the DebAntTask. The alternative is to use the standard dpkg-buildpackage technology.

I have forked the repository and will see if I can create a dpkg-buildpackage set up that works sufficiently.

sounds good, let me know how it goes :)

as for Gnome2 -> Gnome3 issue, not sure what you mean really. The install script is assuming gnome3 now, but other than that there shouldn't be any incompatibility that I know of
