Folks,
Today I installed lucid alpha4 on my laptop, and pulled kiwix version 1282
from subversion.
I had to change Depends: for kiwix to liblzma1 (from liblzma0)
to get it to compile, which it did without any trouble.
Some selected package versions :-
Package: xapian-tools
Version: 1.0.18-1
Package: xulrunner
Version: 1.8.1.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
Package: libunac1-dev
Version: 1.8.0-2
Package: liblzma-dev
Version: 4.999.9beta+20091116-1
Package: libunac1
Version: 1.8.0-2
Package: libltdl-dev
Version: 2.2.6b-2ubuntu1
kiwix-serve (with index) runs, but after the first access cpu load rises to 100%.
Do I need to pull a newer version of any of these packages ?
Cheers, Andy!

Because the planet topic is "kiwix", I'm interested in your article(s) about Kiwix.
What you did is perfect, thank you.
I have added your kiwix feed to the planet. Your article is currently on the top of the list.

Hi Andy,
thank you very much for your feedback, this positive one motivates me.
This is the first time I heard about a successful installation of kiwix-serve in a school local network.
I have open two feature requests:
* daemon mode: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2961214&group_id=175508&at…
* verbose mode: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2961216&group_id=175508&at…
I will try to work on that during the next days. In the worth case this will be implemented until the end of the month.
I have also seen you made a blog post here:
http://blog.wizzy.com/post/Kiwix-install-at-Kwena-Malapo-school-Johannesberg
I try to build a planet to aggregate experiences related to Kiwix from different people in the world: http://planet.kiwix.org
This is nothing big, but hope this may help people to make choices and find the best solution for their concrete problems.
If you are agree, I would be happy to add you to their (please create a kiwix category/tag in this case).
Regards
Emmanuel
PS: Small fix for you article: I do not work for Linterweb and Linterweb has not been working on Kiwix since more than a year. They also do not have prepared the WP1 0.7 ZIM in English. This is my work.

I installed this at a farm school near Johannesberg last saturday.
They have a small network of 22 Windows XP computers installed in a converted
container - the container was supplied by Rotary International, with a door
and 4 windows and roof ventilation added.
They have no internet.
I put down a linux server, installed the zim file, kiwix-serve and the necessary
extra debs, and a startup script run from init.d.
I had to write a script to background kiwix-serve, as I saw no daemon mode.
I also redirected a chatty stdout to /dev/null.
I am a bit behind with svn updates, so apologies if these have already been added.
I attach a couple of pics of the school - sorry I have none of the inside of
the container.
