Running the WiKID Two-factor authentication server on Ubuntu

One of our users just provided us with documentation on how to convert the WiKID Strong Authentication server rpms to .debs for Ubuntu. This is great news for the many fans of Ubuntu. We will include as much of this code as possible in the 3.2 release to make it even easier to use alien to convert the rpms.

And just so you know, it's not that we don't value the Ubuntu/Debian community, it's just that our plan is to move even more OS independent for 4.0 and so we've been focused on that effort.

Enjoy!

Great news

It is indeed great news. Given the popularity of Ubuntu, I would hope you would consider packing in .deb format natively -- not to say you should give up on RPM.

Paul:

Thanks. We will look at doing native deb packaging, but probably not until 4.0 is out. Gotta keep the focus....

Pretty... Do you think is possible to build from source the package on debian/ubuntu or any other distro? If possible to build from source maybe i can test to create some debs on my PPA
