Passenger Ubuntu package updated 11 Jan 09

We’ve just built new versions of our Passenger Ubuntu package.  It’s still Passenger 2.0.6, but we tweaked the dependencies so you aren’t forced to use the Apache worker mpm (prefork should work just fine with Passenger).

We’re now also providing 64bit versions of the packages (the source of the 404 errors some of you reported when trying to install the package).

Documentation for the packages in the usual place on the wiki.

More Passenger news coming soon :)

    Thanks for providing the Intrepid package.

    I’m trying to use the 32bit version with a manually installed version of rubygems. According to the docs wiki page, I do
    apt-get install libapache2-mod-passenger

    however, libapache2-mod-passenger requires rubygems1.8 as a dependency. I fixed this using equivs. For more details see

    Also, I noticed the install page still points to the 8.04 package – not sure this is intentional.

    Thanks,
