The method I presented was the only (easy) method available in that time. Obviously, if you don't care about the latest source code, using a repository is the easiest way to get automatic updates. The package from repository should always match master branch of git://github.com/ether/pad.git so if you build your own package, the actual installed files should be identical. The actual development happens in various forks. See http://github.com/ether/pad/network for visualization (requires flash plugin). Usually the most recent code can be found from repository git://github.com/redhog/pad.git However, the current package is far from ideal. See message #3 for details. Basically the etherpad package contains extra copy of various libraries that should be in separate packages. > I have tested both (Mikko's and etherpad.org's package) on 10.04LTS VMs > and both resulted in a usable but only locally accessible install.

The Debian package installation scripts should automatically prompt for the domain (among other things) and automatically generate correct configuration file at /etc/etherpad/etherpad.local.properties If that does not happen, you should submit a new bug at http://github.com/ether/pad/issues (search for existing bug first and if one exists, enter extra information there instead of opening a new one). Please, spend some time to specify exact steps to reproduce the problem. If you can reproduce the problem with Ubuntu Live CD, it will make it simpler for others to reproduce (in that case, the software environment is identical for all testers). > You may also encounter memory error and the only way I could start the server > was to reboot and then: > 1- cd /usr/share/etherpad > 2. sudo ./bin/run.sh sudo /etc/init.d/etherpad restart should work also.
