Introduction
This package installs TV-Browser for multi-user-systems and uses the Java-runtimes of Sun. These runtimes will be installed automatically by the packaging system.

TV-Browser is a Java-Application and therefore binary packages can be used on any arhcitecture (i386, amd64, ppc, ...)
Packages build under Debian should run seemless under Ubuntu and other DPKG-based distributions.
(Theoretically there could be dependency problems)
Brief instruction for phobies Personal Package Archive on Launchpad
sudo echo \"deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/phobie/ubuntu intrepid main\" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa-phobie.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tvbrowser
Brief instruction for zaubberer.net
Open a console and type:
sudo "wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zaubberer.list http://debian.zaubberer.net/zaubberer.list" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install zaubberer-keyring tvbrowser
done!
Start TV-Browser via the startmenu (KDE --> Multimedia --> TV-Browser) or via "tvbrowser" in the console.
APT-sources
On DPKG-based distributions you can download packages seperately and install them with:
dpkg -i packagename.deb
But it is better to add downloadsources to the APT-sources and use APT-tools (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, usw.) to install software.
On Debian you cann add the zaubberer sources with:
sudo "wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zaubberer.list http://debian.zaubberer.net/zaubberer.list"
If you do not use "sudo" replace "sudo" with "su -c" or become root.
It should make no difference if you chose Debian or Ubuntu.
Signatures
DPKG-packages are digitaly signed. This ensures than packages can not be modified by third parties. To check signatures you need the public key of the signer. The keys of your distribution are preinstalled (i.e. debian-archive-keyring). For alien repositories like zaubberer you need the public key of the corresponding repository.
Update your packagelist with:
sudo apt-get update
Install the keyring with
sudo apt-get install zaubberer-keyring
See the post of Georg on forum.ubuntuusers.de (german)
Binary packages
Update your packagelist with:
sudo apt-get update
Install TV-Browser with:
sudo apt-get install tvbrowser
You can also install TV-Browser with the packaging tool of your choice by searching for "tvbrowser".
Compile for yourself
If the precompiled packages do not work on you system or if you are paranoid, you should compile for yourself.
Download all needed files
dget http://debian.zaubberer.net/debian/pool/sid/main/tvbrowser/tvbrowser_2.7.4-0px1.dsc
Or download the original sourcecode separately
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tvbrowser/tvbrowser-2.7.4-src.zip?download
Repack
unzip -d tvbrowser-2.7.4 tvbrowser-2.7.4-src.zip tar -zcvf tvbrowser_2.7.4.orig.tar.gz tvbrowser-2.7.4 rm -rf tvbrowser-2.7.4
For the paranoids: Check the .diff.gz for evil commands like "rm -rf /x".
Unpack the files
dpkg-source -x tvbrowser_2.7.4-0px1.dsc
Change to the working dir
cd tvbrowser-2.7.4
If needed, modify the package. I.e. add more dependencies to the debian/control file...
Build the package
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
If the build succeeds you can install you package by hand
cd .. sudo dpkg -i tvbrowser_2.7.4-0px1_all.deb
Security
If you get a signature warning, do not install the package!
It's an error or the repository has been compromised.
I f you are in two minds contact the owner of the repository.
- .deb are as dangerous as *.exe!
Every setup can delete your whole harddisk!
