Support Debian Jessie

[pharpend]

Hey, there! I tried to install Halcyon on my server just now. My server is running Debian 8 (Jessie), which is the newest Debian-Stable as of now. I got this message:

% curl -sL https://github.com/mietek/halcyon/raw/master/setup.sh | sudo bash
-----> Welcome to Halcyon

-----> Creating base directory: /app
-----> Installing OS packages
         *** ERROR: Unsupported platform: linux-debian-8-x86_64
   *** ERROR: Failed to install OS packages
   *** ERROR: Failed to install Halcyon

(By the way, the command you have in the tutorial doesn't work in zsh). Piping the script to sudo sh also failed with:

sh: 1: set: Illegal option -o pipefail

FreeBSD, for instance, doesn't ship with bash, so you should make the script work with /bin/sh.

I edited the script manually. Here's the diff, if you want to use it:

1c1
< set -o pipefail
---
> #!/bin/bash
2a3
> set -o pipefail
52a54,64
>       fi
>       ;;
>   'linux-debian-8'*)
>       # NOTE: When run as root, sudo asks for password
>       # on Debian 7.
>       if [ "${uid}" -eq 0 ]; then
>           aptitude update || return 1
>           aptitude install -y build-essential git pigz zlib1g-dev || return 1
>       else
>           sudo bash -c 'aptitude update &&
>               aptitude install -y build-essential git pigz zlib1g-dev' || return 1

That unfortunately still doesn't work:

Thanks. This is already tracked as #64, and will be resolved soon.
