I have cut and pasted from some of Andreas's postings into a wiki page.
For some reason hherb.com is taking a very long time to render and sometimes save or load wiki data files so I provide a copy here. I realize that I may have assembled the info incorrectly. It can be fixed directly on the wiki or, if commented here, I can later upload the changes: http://hherb.com/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Gnumed/DebianInstallers
download the *.deb files at the location above
1. try 'dpkg -i *.deb'. ◦ dpkg will tell you which packages are needed
◦ you can paste these packages into an 'apt-get install ...' call
◦ that's it for the dependencies!
2. postgres
◦ bootstrapping works quite well in the gnumed-snapshot-server* packages
◦ might be a problem if you start from scratch, or if you use the localized packages
◦ the users which are necessary to create are created by the postinst script of the gnumed-snapshot-server package.
◦ no other users should be needed
◦ if this is wrong (i.e. other users are needed), Andreas Tille would like to know
◦ configuration is done in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf
◦ the (hopefully) smallest changes to the postgresql permissions are done in the postinst script of gnumed-snapshot-server
3. postmaster
◦ Starting services is done via /etc/init.d/ [start|stop|restart|...]
◦ thus, after changing something under /etc/postgresql/, issue /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
4. to later bootstrap the latest version from CVS, the postinst script containing the right options for the Debian installation can be found at
◦ /var/lib/dpkg/info/gnumed-snapshot-server.postinst

For people concerned that Gnumed may have undergone much CVS development after creation of the last .deb, just grab the debian/ directory and say:
<x-tad-smaller> ~> make -f rules get-orig-source # Builds an orig.tar.gz from CVS
~> tar -xzf *.orig.tar.gz
~> cp -a debian/ <gnumed-dir>
~> cd <gnumed-dir>
~> debuild -k'Your GPG-key-ID <address@hidden>'
