"Having a problem with the Repo look no further..."
Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2008 8:14 pm
I have been in communications with TheeMahn in regards to the issues that have been brought to my attention. I've gotten a few replies from him explaining what is happening and what is going on to rectify the problem. I see no better explanation about whats happening than to just quote him on some things:
What does this mean? I believe that he is going beyond the call of duty (building 2.0 - maintaining repositories- repairing a down forum - answering posts) He's now going to update virtually all packages on his repo, so we're not left in the stone-ages
This means that we need to help out TheeMahn and notify him of any broken packages that you might run across and post them back here. Sorry for the mix up with things, but he is truly one Mahn.
How do I help out with this process? You can add the 'custom repo' to your sources.list and then see if all is good now
1. Backup sources list:
2. Add the 'test repo' to your sources.list:
3. Refresh your software sources list:
4.

Thanks for bring it to my attention Strider
O.K. here is what I have done. I have uploaded an exact image of what the repo was before there were problems, I then took the time to update virtually every package (downloaded and uploaded every package that can be downloaded from getdeb.net)... Updated package.gz to include these new packages (some must be broken, not my fault getdebs, but ultimately is my fault because I am hosting them).

O.K. here is what I have now done, since that post.
I have replaced the packages.gz with the original, created a "test" under dists for x86 & x64

1. Backup sources list:
- Code: Select all
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
2. Add the 'test repo' to your sources.list:
- Code: Select all
sudo echo "deb http://repoubuntusoftware.info/ test all">>/etc/apt/sources.list
3. Refresh your software sources list:
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
4.
Install what you wish and report broken packages / problems with packages please ensure they came from my repo. I do not want to fix something that is broken on mediabuntu's repo for example (so please use only standard repos and my repo).
Thanks to those that help out,
TheeMahn
