Installing the pre-built packages

add

deb http://[debian|ubuntu].citadel.org/[debian|ubuntu]/[sid|sarge|sarge_bdb44|etch|lenny |breezy|gutsy|feisty|hardy] main

to your ”/etc/apt/sources.list” (choose the right value from the square bracket) so on a Debian Etch it would look like this:

deb http://debian.citadel.org/debian/ etch main

and then do

apt-get update
apt-get install citadel-suite

in order to get all Citadel components installed at once and your MTA replaced by Citadel. Be sure to have a look at the Getting Started and some of its articles.

If you want a more fine-grained solution, or want to know which packages Citadel installs on your system, read on…

Packages available here and their content

At the moment we have i386 and amd64 packages available here.

Package name	Content
citadel-suite	Empty meta-package bringing all the packages below
citadel-common	Files common for all parts of the Citadel-System
citadel-server	The citadel server package. This will become the heart of your system.
citadel-webcit	This will install the web interface to citadel. You can install that on a different machine. But be sure to check the FAQ!
citadel-mta	This replaces the system MTA package and provides Sendmail (/usr/sbin/sendmail)
citadel-doc	Information about citadel…
citadel-client	The citadel command line client. If you prefer a bbs-like text interface, use this.
libical0[-dev]	The icalendar library needed by citadel
libsieve2[-dev]	Backport of the Debian libsieve package
libdb4.4[*]	Backport of the Berkeley DB 4.4 packages to Sarge

To build from source

add this line to your ”/etc/apt/sources.list”:

deb-src http://debian.citadel.org/source stable source "

then do:

apt-get update
apt-get source libical0
cd libical0-0.26.6
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

if it complains about missing build dependencies, install them via “apt-get install”, and repeat the above step. Then do:

cd ..
dpkg -i libical0*.deb
apt-get source citadel-server
cd citadel-<tab> "(to make it expand the version number)" 
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
apt-get source webcit
cd webcit-<tab>
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage"

Then install the “citadel-*” packages you need. You might not want to install the ”-mta” package, if you want to stay with another mail transport agent.
