An ALAVETELI_VERSION constant has been added in config/environment.rb. When loading themes, `rails-post-deploy` now looks for a tag on the theme repository in the form 'use-with-alaveteli-0.6.5' that matches the ALAVETELI_VERSION being deployed - if it finds such a tag, the theme will be checked out from that tag, rather than from the HEAD of the theme repository. If no such tag is found, HEAD is used, as before [issue #573](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues/573). diff --git a/doc/INSTALL.md b/doc/INSTALL.md index 0cf6b0fc7..b805ee0c5 100644 --- a/doc/INSTALL.md +++ b/doc/INSTALL.md @@ -25,6 +25,18 @@ master branch (which always contains the latest stable release): git checkout master +# Package pinning + +You need to configure [apt-pinning](http://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences#Pinning-1) preferences in order to prevent packages being pulled from the debian testing distribution in preference to the stable distribution once you have added the testing repository as described below. + +In order to configure apt-pinning and to keep most packages coming from the Debian stable repository while installing the ones required from testing and the mySociety repository you need to run the following commands: + + echo "Package: *" >> /tmp/preferences + echo "Pin: release a=testing">> /tmp/preferences + echo "Pin-Priority: 50" >> /tmp/preferences + sudo cp /tmp/preferences /etc/apt/ + rm /tmp/preferences + # Install system dependencies These are packages that the software depends on: third-party software @@ -39,7 +51,7 @@ If you are running Debian, add the following repositories to deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib The repositories above allow us to install the packages -`wkthmltopdf-static` and `bundler` using `apt`; so if you're running +`wkhtmltopdf-static` and `bundler` using `apt`; so if you're running Ubuntu, you won't be able to use the above repositories, and you will need to comment out those two lines in `config/packages` before following the next step (and install bundler manually). diff --git a/doc/THEMES.md b/doc/THEMES.md index 6c22764fc..c5e4a3eee 100644 --- a/doc/THEMES.md +++ b/doc/THEMES.md @@ -123,7 +123,7 @@ do this in the `alavetelitheme`.
