Installation Hints

Gobby 0.5

You will have to build Gobby 0.4.91 from source until your distribution ships it. However, since the underlying library, libinfinity is not yet stable, it might take some time until it does.

Gobby 0.4

Debian Etch, Debian Lenny: Just aptitude install gobby to fetch Gobby 0.4.

Debian Sarge: Backports of Gobby are not possible; backports of Sobby are no longer supported, sorry. Please upgrade to Debian Etch which is the current stable release.

Ubuntu Dapper Drake: Backports of Gobby 0.4 will not be offered by us, sorry.

Ubuntu Edgy Eft, Feisty Fawn: Gobby 0.4 is available through your package manager of choice. It will not be supported by us however. The version is quite outdated but should still be compatible with the current revisions.

Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, Hardy Heron: Gobby is available through your package manager of choice, current versions will be published through gutsy-backports if necessary.

Source Mage: cast gobby

Gentoo: Add net-libs/net6 ~x86, net-libs/obby ~x86 and app-editors/gobby ~x86 as distinct lines to /etc/portage/package.keywords (and replace x86 to state your architecture, if yours differs). Afterwards an emerge --ask =app-editors/gobby-0.4* will be sufficient to install Gobby.

MacPorts: Sync your tree with sudo port selfupdate, then run sudo port install gobby. Please note: There might be issues popping up on the way, for which we are not responsible. Please use the MacPorts bug tracker to report problems. (Unless you are certain that the problem is in the portfiles of either net6, obby, gobby or sobby.)

OpenSuSE, Fedora & others: Gobby sobby

NetBSD's pkgsrc: Gobby has been imported into their repository. Please follow the usual instructions to install it. See the README for details.

Gobby 0.3

Gentoo: emerge =gobby-0.3*

Ubuntu Dapper Drake: apt-get install gobby

Fedora Core 5 Extras: yum install gobby

Git Repository

We use Git as version control system. If you are interested to get most up to date source code of our projects, you may check out the repositories using the following commands. Note however that the source code in the repository may not even compile and may be API/ABI incompatible with older versions. It is also possible that the obby protocol has changed, so you cannot even collaborate with the current stable version of Gobby. You also need autoconf and automake to compile code from our repository, as you need to run autoreconf after you successfully checked out a copy. Running configure with --enable-maintainer-mode is suggested where applicable. This will automatically re-run autoconf and automake as necessary during make.
