Deb file hell.

(1/4) > >>

teales:
I downloaded codeblocks-13.12-1_i386.debian.stable.tar.xz. In it I find about 17 ***.deb files. Not a README in sight. WTF am I supposed to do with them?

There should be one! If more subtle installations are required, document them in a README, and provide links.

As it is, the download is useless to me, since I depend on my current version, and can't do to break it by installing the wrong .deb first.

oBFusCATed:
Extract the archive and install the deps. I don't think it is hard?
Otherwise you'll have to wait for 13.12 entering the stable debian repo.

Jenna:
You can also use my repo (see signature) for the release or a nightly.

teales:
Like I said, just now I don't want to compromise my ability to get on with my development. There are numerous debs in the download, but no indication of the order in which they should be installed. It did not look like the dependencies came first, so top to bottom seemed risky.

So I asked.

Jenna:
Order normally doesn't matter.
In doubt run sudo dpkg -i *.deb and you get all stuff including debug and development packages.

Or use my repo (as I wrote before) and use your favourite package-manager to update.
The repo includes the exact same files as the tar-ball.
