Ubuntu Edgy RepositoryThis is a featured page

NOTICE: As of April 20, 2007, this repo is unmaintained.

If you are running Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10, you can install AWN and Affinity from an Ubuntu repository.

First, edit your apt sources:

  • gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Add these lines to the bottom (without bullets):
  • ## Avant Window Navigator
  • deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ edgy avant-window-navigator
  • deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ edgy avant-window-navigator

Then do this in a terminal:
  • wget http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/8434D43A.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get upgrade

Now to install the stable AWN version do
  • sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator

Or for AWN SVN do
  • sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-svn

Affinity requires either the Tracker or Beagle desktop search engine to work properly, be sure to install the version of Affinity that matches what you have installed.

For the stable Affinity version do
  • sudo apt-get install affinity-tracker
or
  • sudo apt-get install affinity-beagle

Or for Affinity SVN do
  • sudo apt-get install affinity-tracker-svn
or
  • sudo apt-get install affinity-beagle-svn

Detailed instructions for compiling AWN and Affinity can be found on the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981

If I am not mistaken, the repositories do not work under AMD64. Because of this, I created a blog: http://cutting-edgy-amd64.blogspot.com . It contains avant-window-navigator and affinity-search .deb files (both are svn versions). People have reported on the ubuntu forum topic here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2459059 that it works for them. Enjoy!
