DS9

DS9 is available directly ​on the web.

It's also available as ​a package in debian.

However, it ​doesn't seem to be directly available for ubuntu.

dkg will build this package for ubuntu from the debian sources and document how it was done here.

First, on a debian machine whose /etc/apt/sources.list contains the unstable repository, fetch the source, and pass it off to an ubuntu machine for the build:

[dkg@squeak ~]$ mkdir -p src/saods9
[dkg@squeak ~]$ cd src/saods9
[dkg@squeak saods9]$ apt-get source -d saods9

Next, on an ubuntu machine, ensure that the basic build-essential tools are installed, and then:

[dkg@metis ~]$ cd src/saods9/
[dkg@metis saods9]$ dpkg-source -x saods9_4.0b7-1.dsc
