[Scribus] Vedr. Re: Installing ng - debian

It is nice to have a psychic on these lists.  :)

Sorry about the lack of info, but I was thinking that I was just hoping on
from one debian train to another.  I use Feisty, which actually works very
well.  I am hoping to install scribus-ng this weekend.

Nick,

Would you be so kind to make your question more specific? If you ask if
there
are packages for ubuntu then the answer is yes. Read
http://debian.scribus.net
for a list, but shortly I have scribus-ng packages for Dapper and Edgy in
our
repositories (and will for Eft when it's released or somebody tells me that
it's different enough from Edgy that Edgy package doesn't work anymore). I
dropped the Breezy package around 1.3.3.7 release as it didn't have recent
cmake and I wasn't keen on searching for a backport, but if there is a
specific request like it happened with Sarge I will put in the effort.

Is the above close to answering what you were asking?

Cheers,

Alex.
