Packages
Packaging for Scout is currently available for the following distributions:
- Fedora Core 13 and 14
- Ubuntu, via a PPA
- Gentoo, via https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525434
To install scout under Fedora Core 13 or 14, simply use the following command:
sudo yum install scout
Currently, packages for Hardy, Jaunty, Karmic, Lucid and Maverick are available. See :
https://launchpad.net/~gabriel-filion/+archive/scout
To use this ppa, if you are running Karmic, Lucid or Maverick, just run the following command in a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gabriel-filion/scout
If you are using older versions of Ubuntu, click on the “Technical details about this PPA” link, choose your version, copy the two lines in the rectangle box and paste them in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Then add the PPA’s public key to your apt keyring:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 649135D9
Currently, native Debian packages are not generated. However, the Ubuntu packages have very simple requirements so it is possible to use them with Debian. I have personally been using the “maverick” package from the PPA for a Debian unstable system for some time.
sudo bash -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gabriel-filion/scout/ubuntu maverick main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list" sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 649135D9 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install scout

- Ubuntu : Unofficial packages done by myself
If you want to maintain packages for any distribution, let me know by e-mail and I’ll gladly work with you to get things in order. I would certainly give out the Ubuntu packaging to someone with more packaging experience and with the intent of pushing the package in the main repositories.
