sources.list repository ^_^

[Tasu]

Hi all,
why not maintaining a thread with all our working sources.list? Something like a gatherer for every deb line we find in this forum, but even something not mentioned elsewere other than in you lonely surfing on the waves of the www.. ^_^
This way, it would be easy for all to look for where to find a certain obscure package that's working for our beloved breezy.

I propose something like threads with just the description of which packages are found in each repo listed... this seems to me the best format... ain't it?

i.e.:

# latest amule-adnza (amule mod for Fastweb provider internal network)
deb http://nowhere.myfigment.com/example this-is just example

regards

I don't think it's a good idea unless you are very specific that most of those pacakges may break or make unstable your install of Ubuntu or have you face legal issues you may not know about.

Indeed, both of you were right, adding repos not for ubuntu could be dangerous, and bring some legal issues, but no one is forced to add those repos...

I thought this could be a good place where to find interesting repos in a way more complete than searching through the forum, and finally finding the repo you're looking for just in the fifth page of a 7 pages thread.

Surely is not for the faint of heart, but who knows what to do, can benefit from such a thread not having to spare too much time looking for what can be easly found here!

However this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=92672 referred by ringding is really a good starting point! ^_^

I'd recommend this listby ubuntu_demon. It has extra repos, but they have been proven to be reliable.
