Problem finding booktype package after adding sourcefabric apt - Booktype Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Eric Schrijver

Hello!

So I’m on Ubuntu 18.04, x86_64, fresh VPS. I’ve installed Postgres.

I’ve added the line

deb https://apt.sourcefabric.org/ bionic main

to `/etc/apt/sources.list` and ran `apt update`

However, I get a message:

E: Unable to locate package booktype

If I look in `/var/lib/apt/lists/apt.sourcefabric.org_dists_bionic_main_binary-amd64_Packages` I only find the package `sourcefabric-keyring` (I installed this as well to be sure).

Any clues as to what could be going wrong?

Thanks!

For trusty 14.04, I see the package on your server: https://apt.sourcefabric.org/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages

But for bionic 18.04 I don’t: https://apt.sourcefabric.org/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages

Hi Eric,

This is because Booktype 2.4.0 is not released yet. Once the package is available it will be added to the newly supported 'bionic' distro on the apt repo.

In the meantime you can find daily snapshot packages here: http://apt.sourcefabric.org/snapshots/

Thanks for your interest in Booktype!

Ah, my bad. Thanks for your reaction!

I see the link on your homepage links to http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-23-for-authors-and-publishers/what-is-booktype/ but I had somehow found my self in the documentation for the yet to be released 2.4

Am I correct in thinking that the most recent stable version I can install through your apt repository is 2.0, for Ubuntu 14.04? I’d love to install 2.3!

I’ve tried the latest stable snapshot but I ran into some difficulties. After messing around for a bit it looks like I have it working; but of course running a development snapshot I’m a bit afraid It’ll break. For example the postinstallation script expects a `manage.py` file where that file is now called `manage_[dev|staging|prod].py`. I can post a bug if that’s useful?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for pointing that out, you are right that the postinst does need updating for that change in 2.4.0. For a production instance it would be manage_prod.py

Cheers!

Daniel

Howdy, Stranger!
