Ubuntu packages¶

New in version 0.10.

Insophia publishes apt-gettable packages which are generally fresher than those in Ubuntu, and more stable too since they’re built continously from Scrapy Mercurial repositories (stable & development) and so they contain the latest bug fixes.

To use the packages, just add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and then run aptitude update and aptitude install scrapy-0.12:

deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu DISTRO main

Replacing DISTRO with the name of your Ubuntu release, which you can get with command:

lsb_release -cs

Supported Ubuntu releases are: karmic, lucid, maverick, natty.

For Ubuntu Maverick (10.10):

deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu maverick main

For Ubuntu Lucid (10.04):

deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu lucid main

For Ubuntu Karmic (9.10):

deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu karmic main
