# Re Joy rpm deb

    There are now the following Joy packages at

         http://www.quill.plus.com/joy-linux/

    They are trial builds, I can only test them on my machine

    and they seem quite stable. If anyone has time and resources

    confirm the general packaging works I would be pleased

    to hear the results.

    The new tars have a make uninstall option, the rpm's

    and the deb respect the normal package commands.

    Joy-Linux file install details:

    joy-linux.tar.gz          ( the original joy-linux-0.1 )

                               into /home/<personal>/ directory

    The following are new versions...

    joy-linux-0.1.tar.gz      into /usr/local/ /usr/local/bin/

    joy-linux-0.2.tar.gz      into /usr/share/ /usr/bin/

                              This is the base file for the

                              following rpm and deb builds.

    joy-linux-0.2-1.src.rpm   into into /usr/share /usr/bin

    joy-linux-0.2-1.i586.rpm  into into /usr/share /usr/bin

    joy-linux_0.2-1_i386.deb  into into /usr/share /usr/bin

    rpm's built on Linux Mandrake 9.0

    deb   built on Debian GNU/linux 3.0 r0 Woody

          but is not fully in line with Debian policies,

          has no man page, and some policy detail missing.

    After installing any package Joy should run by typing

      joy or joy-linux

    Fingers crossed!
