I notice that the latest stable version of scrapy
was released last week(2013-08-09). After updating scrapy to version 0.18, the previous installed scrapyd-0.17
was uninstalled by apt-get
(Ubuntu 12.04) automatically. Is there a scrapyd-0.18
? How to install it?

Scrapyd is now a separate project as of 0.18.
It looks like right now they only have it hooked up to aptitude
:
aptitude install scrapyd-0.18
EDIT: well, I researched it myself:
ben@nixbox:~$ aptitude versions scrapyd
Package scrapyd-0.14:
p 0.14.4+1351083316 <NULL> 500
Package scrapyd-0.15:
p 0.15.1-309-gc3e91ba+1350590037 <NULL> 500
Package scrapyd-0.16:
p 0.16.5+1375718980 <NULL> 500
Package scrapyd-0.17:
p 0.17.1-22-gaa883be+1372791583 <NULL> 500
Sigh. Their documentation strongly implies that you can find scrapyd-0.18 on aptitude, but as of this writing (8/11/2013) that is false. I'll leave this answer up in case it saves anyone some time.
Edit2: well then, their news page on the documentation says 0.18.0 (unreleased). Github repo seems to confirm that. So I'm afraid there's your answer for now.

Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "scrapyd-0.18" – kev Aug 12 '13 at 02:29

@kev you need to add your associated repo to aptitude as they explain in the docs http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/ubuntu.html – roippi Aug 12 '13 at 02:33

I've add `deb http://archive.scrapy.org/ubuntu precise main` to `/etc/apt/sources.list` – kev Aug 12 '13 at 02:35

@kev sigh, the `aptitude` was a lie. I'll see if they have a tarball somewhere. – roippi Aug 12 '13 at 02:43
