    The Expanded Hardy sources.list thread?

    I've been trying to track down several repositories and write a shell script to take the pain away from expanding your sources.list.

    However, finding good repositories and getting them to work without errors is mind-numbing...

    This is what I have so far, I would really appreciate it if people could help me expand and correct this list.

    This isn't just a collection of bleeding software that breaks your system most of the time, it just has useful or important software not in the original list - and I hope it stays that way.
    Many users feel awkward about packages that non-MOTUs and non-devs make, but I have never run into a single problem while using them in Feisty (trevino's list), Gutsy (skymera+1337455 10534), or Hardy (oshelpdesk). Still, use this at your own risk.
    For the record; with this current list - I have had flawless compiz, gtk, codecs, apparmor, and kernel upgrades.

    The installer (setup.sh) -
    - Instructions: Download the attatched hardylist.tar.bz2, extract it onto your desktop, and open a terminal. Type
    Code:
    cd ~/Desktop/hardylist
    sudo chmod a+x setup.sh
    ./setup.sh
    and follow the instructions there.
    setup.sh code;
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    # Note;
    # I am mainly a Python and C++ programmer - I know nothing of writing shell scripts,
    # so forgive me. I've tried to make the code here readable...

    Side note; does anyone know why Ubuntu forums does not support tar.lzma compressed files? They are smaller than all of the rest.. next best is tar.bz2...

    Re: The Expanded Hardy sources.list thread?

    doing a apt-get autoclean before a apt-get clean is kind of redundant as autoclean lists and removes .deb files for older versions of packages for which newer versions are now available, and clean removes every package file that has been downloaded.

    Other than that, nice effort. I personally won't be using this because I have my repos set up just the way I want, with PPAs and others for all the extra softwares I need.

    Thanks, I've never quite known the difference between the two .

    Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the source.list Hardy ships with, I just think that people who maintain decent repositories may keep them up longer if more people are interested in them.

    Thanks for looking at this though!

    Say, are you from India or some place close to it?

    I saw the link to the Digit magazine forums in your code.

    Actually, that was just a lucky google hit. I got the following code from that site (and guess where they got it from? ubuntuforums archive post !)...
    for i in $(grep -o -E "http.*\.(gpg|asc|key)" /etc/apt/sources.list); do echo -n "$i "; wget $i -q -O - | sudo apt-key add -; done; keylist=""; for key in $(grep -o "[A-Fa-f0-9]\{8\}" /etc/apt/sources.list); do if [ -z "$(echo "$keylist"|grep "$key")" ]; then keylist="$keylist $key"; gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv $key && gpg --export --armor $key | sudo apt-key add -; fi; done;

    Re: The Expanded Hardy sources.list thread?

    Not unless you give me a free 64-bit computer to hammer out all the compile errors in some of the oldass software that is in there. Several of those programs haven't been update in 5~7 years, it's just no one ever created anything new to replace them. Getting that stuff to compile on my system was not fun, and I would really have no way to know if a 64-bit version could even be run.

    Besides, I am constantly seeing people complaining how [__stuff here__] does not work on the 64-bit kernel. A lot of people even with 64-bit machines still just run in 32-bit. As such, these packages can reach the most users.

    If you don't mind me asking, is there any particular reason for having your own repository and not just creating a launchpad ppa?

    Edit: Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious about knowing why people don't use the ppa and make their own repository.
