I’ve set up a debian repository that you can help test the release package before it gets uploaded into debian proper.

To try it out, add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian/ stable main contrib

deb-src http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian/ stable main contrib

and then run

gpg --keyserver the.earth.li --recv-keys 379393E0AAEE96F6

apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

OR (if theearth.li doesn't work for you)

wget http://fosiki.com/Foswiki_debian/FoswikiReleaseGpgKey.asc

apt-key add FoswikiReleaseGpgKey.asc

apt-get update

apt-get install apache2 foswiki

This repository contains about 281 (Apr2011) foswiki-extensions – auto updated nightly direct from foswiki.org. The packages have as many dependencies as I was able to coerce my build scripts to work out – but there is more work needed.
