I'm trying some experiments with virtual hosting and getting Typo running under Ubuntu.
Getting any complex Ruby app running in Ubuntu is frakin' hard. If you are travelling the same road, you'll need this.
I appreciate the Debian packaging philosophy and the granularity it achieves, but I can't help looking at the Typo dependency list and thinking it would take me hours to work this out by hand and dozens of attempts to run Typo, each time getting a new and puzzling error. Who needs to fix this? Should there be a more dynamic and user-friendly dependency system in Ruby or should there be a Debian package for Typo? Hmm... I think I just answered my own question. Crap, more work to do. BTW, Movable Type still powers this blog. It's powerful and extensible. I recently installed MT-Textile, fiddled with MT-Blacklist in the past, etc. There's even a book on hacking MT.
