Brightbox builds Hardy Passenger package 21 May 08
We’ve created an Ubuntu Hardy package for Passenger - the apache ‘mod_rails’ hosting solution written by the team at Phusion, and sent the resulting patches back upstream to improve Passenger for everybody.
The package is available from the Brightbox repository at http://apt.brightbox.net and is called ‘libapache2-mod-passenger’.
Brightboxes have the repository in place by default, but you can easily add the repository to your system with the following commands:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.brightbox.net hardy main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brightbox.list'
sudo sh -c 'wget -q -O - http://apt.brightbox.net/release.asc | apt-key add -'
sudo apt-get update
There will be a beta Passenger Brightbox machine available soon and we’re probably going to need some volunteers to trial it out. So if you like your Rails Hosting bleeding edge then let me know and I’ll put you on the list.
If you do use the .deb, be warned that I’m changing it all the time at the moment as Passenger evolves and I’m following Passenger trunk very closely.

Your package worked great on my Xubuntu 8.04 testing virtual machine. I’m downloading an image of Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 to test your 64-bit package as well, most likely prior to the big upgrade of my VPS slice. Thank you for making this available to us all.
Any chance you’ll make a Passenger 2.0 package when it’s finally released, just days from now?
