Re: [Gnumed-devel] Re: Lenny 5.0

[Jim Busser]

would it not be easier to just

        apt-get install gnumed-client

because even if it installed only 2.8.10-1 this should give the same  
dependencies (I think) unless there is some problem to install such  
an earlier version.

Is there some advantage to installing ONLY the dependencies (without  
an "old" client) and installing he client from tarball?

It seems to me that a tarball version will need to be launched from  
the command line whether or not an apt-get installed version of the  
client exists although I suppose it is possible in Linux / Debian /  
Gnome (or other desktop) to link some script to a desktop icon?
