Revision of Install Freedombox packages on Trisquel from Sat, 02/09/2013 - 23:27

Introduction

Since trisquel is a GNU/Linux distribution that uses debian packaging system, it's easier to install some freedombox packages on it than parabola...

Freedombox privoxy

Clone freedombox privoxy:

git clone https://github.com/jvasile/freedombox-privoxy
cd freedombox-privoxy

Then we need to apply that patch to ensure that we build against debian version of freedbox-privoxy. Copy the following text in a file named trisquel.patch

From ba2451de6612667ea48df1ab6d3f74d8eabd0226 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Make freedombox privoxy work in trisquel 5.5

Not all Debian based GNU/Linux distributions have
  the same version of privoxy than in debian.

That changes fetches the privoxy packages from
  debian to have the required version that works.

Then run:

git am trisquel.patch

Then we need to build the packages, run:

make deb

It will probably fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./abp_import.py", line 101, in 0
    main()
  File "./abp_import.py", line 98, in main
    print translate_all(easylist, infile)
  File "./abp_import.py", line 71, in translate_all
    str += translate(line)
  File "./abp_import.py", line 54, in translate
    pat, opts = line.split("$",2) 
ValueError: too many values to unpack
make: *** [privoxy/easylist.action] Error 1

Then run make deb again:

make deb

Then install the result:

sudo apt-get purge privoxy # yes, this is necessary the first time
sudo dpkg -i Debian/*.deb

And start the service:

sudo service privoxy restart
