Kadu for Debian GNU/Linux

Installation

To install Kadu:

• run a package manager of your choice (Synaptic, KPackage, aptitude, ...)
• search for package named kadu
• and install it

You can use the terminal instead and, as root, run:

# apt-get install kadu

Additional packages are available as well:

• kadu-external-modules containing extarnal plugins for Kadu

Package sources

If you want to look at package sources and/or compile them yourself, you have to:

Make a new directory for the sources:

$ mkdir ~/kadu-build
$ cd ~/kadu-build

Download the sources:

$ apt-get source kadu

3 files will be downloaded:
kadu_<version>-<subversion>.orig.tar.gz - Kadu sources
kadu_<version>-<subversion>.diff.gz - Debianify patch
kadu_<version>-<subversion>.dsc - package description and MD5 of above files.

File kadu_<version>.orig.tar.gz will be unpacked in current directory.

If you want to create .deb files yourself, ensure you have dpkg-dev and fakeroot packages installed:

# apt-get install dpkg-dev fakeroot

Ensure you have all dependencies needed to build Kadu::

# apt-get build-dep kadu

Build your packages:

$ cd kadu-<version>
$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
