medibuntu for jaunty

[Joe C]

Unfortunately, I am stuck running jaunty -- because my company still requires this as our standard OS for our software. I have a computer with a fresh install of 9.04 but of course none of the medibuntu packages.

Why, oh why did they take down jaunty from the medibuntu repository!?

Anyway, anyone know where I can get these packages now? (w32codecs, etc.)

thanks,

jc

thanks, but the problem is that the jaunty packages aren't on packages.medibuntu.org anymore -- they were removed on 2010-10-11. i guess i'm looking for a reputable mirror that still has them?

Did u try this ?

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

actually, i did try that before i posted. the result is 404 not found (from wget).

that's because JAUNTY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM MEDIBUNTU as of 2010-10-11.

does anyone know of a reputable mirror that would still have the jaunty medubuntu packages?

thanks,

Have you tried just downloading the .debs from medibuntu lucid packages? If the requirements are met, you should be fine. For example, w32codecs just requires libc6 >= 2.0, which jaunty has.

The old packages are keep on the main server, to access.
Make sure any previous entries are removed in software sources, then add this line and reload. (reopen software sources to make sure the package one is enabled, the sources line is optional.

Thanks everyone, for you help. Turns out the packages are (evidently) indeed still on the server.

I did a sudo apt-get update manually, and then for some reason I was able to install packages such as w32codecs just fine. I had been using synaptic and had hit the reload button after adding medibuntu to my sources.list and adding the gpg key, but for some reason it wasn't finding w32codecs until after I ran sudo apt-get update from the command line.
