INSTALLATION

- Unpack the toolchain package tarball to some convenient location.

  $ tar -C /path/to/local/repo -xzf maemodoc-toolchain_0.2.4.tar.gz


- Tell apt where to find the packages
 
  Create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/maemodoc-toolchain-local.list 
  with the contents.
    
    deb file:///path/to/local/repo/maemodoc-toolchain /

  and tell apt to update its list of available packages

    $ sudo apt-get update     


- Install the toolchain.

    $ sudo apt-get install maemodoc-toolchain


- Optionally install the wiki import tool.

    $ sudo apt-get install maemodoc-toolchain-mediawiki
 
  This is only required if you want to be able to import wikified 
  documentation into MediaWiki and will pull in MediaWiki, Apache and 
  MySQL as dependencies but will /not/ touch their configuration.
