[Eric] eric5 Debian packages available?

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

I am not aware of an eric5 package for Debian. However, you may use the 
install script, that comes with the source package. If you like to uninstall 
it later on (what I don't hope you want to do), you may use the uminstall 
script. Going with the install script is the better way anyway because Debian 
tends to distribute fairly old versions of eric. If you detect an error in an 
old version the only answer you will get is "Please update to the latest 
release." I will not backport bug fixes to older releases!!

Regards,
Detlev
