From f18a62880da1782ba9a35d7b948253f7f2dc69d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Caleb Maclennan Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:21:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] refactor install instructions to include myrepos Since myrepos is so strongly recommended, included it in the distro specific install instructions. Refactor the Arch Linux instructions to better reflect most common usage. --- README.md | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index e74c27b..09cbc65 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -258,16 +258,16 @@ Make sure none of the following files and directories exist for your test All of the files are part of the template repository, the directory is where the template will be stored. - apt-get install myrepos - ### Install vcsh #### Debian -If you are using Debian Squeeze, you will need to enable backports. -From Wheezy onwards, you can install it directly: +If you are using Debian Squeeze, you will need to enable backports and the +package name for myrepos will be 'mr'. + +From Wheezy onwards, you can install both directly: - apt-get install vcsh + apt-get install myrepos vcsh #### Gentoo @@ -275,32 +275,42 @@ To install vcsh in Gentoo Linux just give the following command as root: emerge dev-vcs/vcsh +Note the portage package for myrepos still has the old project name: + + emerge dev-vcs/mr + #### Arch Linux -vcsh is available via [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vcsh/) -and further documentation about the use of AUR is available -[on Arch's wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository).
