= Overview ==
One convenient way to install Tahoe-LAFS is with debian packages.
This document attempts to explain how to complete a desert island build for
people in a hurry. It also attempts to explain more about our Debian packaging
for those willing to read beyond the simple pragmatic packaging exercises.
== TL;DR supporting package building instructions ==
There are only two supporting packages that are currently not available from
the debian apt repositories in Debian Lenny: python-foolscap python-zfec

First, we'll install some common packages for development:

fakeroot darcs python-twisted python-nevow \
python-simplejson python-pycryptopp devscripts

sudo apt-file update
To create packages for Lenny, we'll also install stdeb:
apt-get install python-all-dev
STDEB_VERSION="0.3.2"

sudo apt-get install python-all-dev

cd stdeb-$STDEB_VERSION

supported libraries as .deb packages. You'll need to edit the Debian specific
/etc/defaults/allmydata-tahoe file to get Tahoe started. Data is by default
stored in /var/lib/tahoelafsd/ and Tahoe runs as the 'tahoelafsd' user.
