Linux users, which do you prefer? .deb, .rpm or .tgz?

the fact is i don't run windows, so its not a matter of would i like beertools for linux, its the only way i'd ever use beertools.

as i currently run ubuntu, .deb is the most convenient, but realistically if you want to capture the *nix market, you'll want to release in all three.

Yes, I agree. I already have packages built in all three. The underlying purpose of this topic is to "ping" the market, so to speak, to determine the level of interest in a Linux version of BeerTools Pro. So far we 4 votes and one is my own. For me to devote the time and resources required to maintain a Linux build I need to see a reasonable level of market demand.

I'm a Ubuntu user as well so i very selfishly voted for .deb although .tgz would be more universal. I currently use Beer smith running under wine, but if i could get beer nerd software for linux i'd buy that in a flash!

Hi, how i can get a linux version? I am using Fedora, so i will need a rpm package.

Thanks,

Would love to try it, and most likely purchase it, Thought I would be notified by email since I was a beta tester. Don't have a win or mac machine, just Debian.

When might this be available in the store. I will announce it in the beer forums I belong to, there are several interested in a linux app.

Is it possible to try it? I have not seen any place to download it!

Thx

Hi,
I'd like to download the trial version, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Assuming it works ok, I'd gladly pay for the pro version.

thanks,

I can place the trial .deb file in your downloads and email you a key. It would be great if you could let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

I can add the trial to your downloads but I need to get your BeerTools username.

Thanks!

Yes, but I need your BeerTools username so I can look up your account.

Thanks!

I need either the 64 bit version or a tarball, and thanks

Maybe it's not the best way, but I got it work! You can try this:

"dpkg -i --force-architecture beertoolspro-1.5.10-2.i386.deb"

"dpkg -i --force-architecture beertoolspro-1.5.10-2.i386.deb"

I think that I can fix the roadblock by allowing all architectures in the .deb configuration. Right now it is probably set to allow installation on only 32 bit systems even though it should run on 64 bit. The fact that you got it to work by forcing confirms that assumption.
