[med-svn] [Debian Wiki] Update of "DebianMed/HowToGet" by TimBooth

[Debian Wiki]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Debian Wiki" for change notification.

The "DebianMed/HowToGet" page has been changed by TimBooth:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/HowToGet

New page:
= How To Get Debian Med Packages (aka. the user FAQ) =

 ## A new page trying to explain to a non-developer how they can get the packages they find on the site.  I had this as a TODO item from Luebeck but never got round to it until now. ##

The main emphasis of the Debian Med web pages is to provide information for developers. If you are a user of Debian or Ubuntu and just want to make use of Debian Med packages then this page is for you.

== Q. How do I find out what packages Debian-Med has available? ==

A.  See [[http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/|the tasks page]].  This lists the existing packages, as well as work in progress and software that has been considered by Debian Med but not packaged for various reasons.  Note that Debian Med does not have a monopoly on packaging biomedical software, and some tools are borderline as to the category they fit in and are in fact maintained by other individuals or teams, for example Debichem.  In this case, look up the package on [http://packages.qa.debian.org/common/index.html qa.debian.org] to see who is working on it.

== Q. I can see package X listed on Debian Med.  How do I install it? ==

A. '''apt-get install package-x'''  Because Debian Med is a [[Debian Pure Blend http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends]] it is generally expected that users will get the packages we make as part of the normal Debian distribution.  Packages will be pushed to Sid as soon as possible when they are ready, and should then be automatically added to testing around ten days later.  New packages will not be pushed to Debian Stable until a new stable release is made.

== Q. Can I just install Debian-Med in one go? ==

Yes.  '''apt-get install med-bio'''

== Q. What about Ubuntu? ==

A. Debian Med packages automatically become part of Ubuntu, but this process takes time so the Ubuntu package will often be behind the one in Debian Sid.  As with Debian, new packages and non-critical updates are not added to an Ubuntu release after the release freeze (a month or so before the release date).

== Q. But I want a package that isn't in the Debian Archive, or a newer version of one that is. What can I do? ==

Supporting backports (newer packages to work on an older Debian or Ubuntu base) is something we do not currently support, but we recognise that this is a common need, especially given the rate of development of many scientific applications and the understandable tendency of departments to run a Stable OS platform as opposed to Debian Testing.
There are various ways you might try to get newer packages on your system.  These are not without their problems but may be useful for many people.
