Debian Experimental Packages
Posted: 18 Jan 2013, 15:51
OpenMW is in the experimental repository of Debian contrib. From now on, users should use that repository rather than the one at people.debian.org. To use it, you must:
1) Add the unstable and experimental repositories (needed for libraries like ogre-1.9)
2) Set your apt preferences to not install unstable packages unless explicitly asked to
Details are here:
https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences
http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
Step #1, add these two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list [and remove the people.debian.org one if you were using it before]
Step #2, create or add this to /etc/apt/preferences
then
that will install openmw and the required libraries from unstable without touching anything else that has already been installed on your system.
This is experimental, but please try it out and let me know how it works!
