Thanks, nx 5000. Any idea about these repos, Marillat? Such as:

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ etch main

I tried changing etch to testing, sarge, stable, unstable, and sid and that didn't work either.

They don't exist anymore.
with http I get this (you know that you can click on the link, it points to a real directory on a web server)

The requested URL '/debian-marillat/' was not found on this server.

I get it now. They are @ http://www.debian-multimedia.org/. Got it corrected.

Hey yall. Just reinstalled etch, does anyone have good repos for the latest firefox and other desktop apps?

mark_alfred · 12-26-2006, 01:39 AM

I think the latest firefox, in Debian, will be called iceweasel. It's currently in the unstable (sid) repositories, I believe.

So here is my sources.list . Please share yours, especially if you have any sweet apps.

I run Debian Sid/Sidux. Here is my sources.list as of 12-20-2006.
I have access to over 22,000 packages.
Make sure you do not have any non-us repositories listed as they were made obsolete when Sarge became stable. Adobe Flash and Sun's Java are in non-free. For more sources try searching http://www.apt-get.org

/etc/apt/sources.list

It's a quite awesome sources.list.
I'm beginning to use Sidux now, this is the dist I've been looking for.

But it would be very interesting if you post the GPG keys of these repositories.

Bye!

craigevil · 12-28-2006, 04:38 PM

Added links to most of the sources in my first post that have gpg keys, unfortunately not all of them do.

For those who are still using 'woody' (Debian 3.0), here is the url I just changed to and it works. Please correct me if anybody find it wrong.

#
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive/ woody contrib main non-free
#

They have just move the 3.0 to archive:

For most of GNOME-2.16 packages you need to "apt-get -t experimental upgrade" and
install from experimental repository-for eg:nautilus etc..

BTW any GNOME latest repository esp for Debian not Ubuntu one!

Sidux unfortunately is a KDE branded distro

I notice that most people that have posted here seem to use the default sites rather than the mirror sites. I have gotten significantly better performance and throughput many times by using alternate mirrors. Usually ones physically near me work best, but other times servers that are in "quiet hours" in their home locale, on occasion, work best.

What are your experiences with this, as well as your repository particulars?

That's not always the fastest one either.
You can use netselect-apt to find a faster one:

#apt-get install netselect-apt
#netselect-apt

Their are other tools for this as well.

I've been away from Debian Etch for a while. Have the 'backports' repos been replaced by 'unofficial'? If not what are current 'backport' repos?

This isn't working:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ stable all

Has it been replaced by:

deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free restricted

craigevil · 02-22-2007, 11:37 PM

Backports is primarily for Sarge at this point, although once Etch is "stable" I am sure it will be ready for use.

The current backports sources.list entry is:
deb http://www.backports.org/debian sarge-backports main contrib non-free

Unofficial is a totally different repo from backports.

See my sources.list in my sig for a more complete list. In two years of running Sid I have yet had to compile , everything I have needed (2010 packages installed so far) I have been able to install using apt-get. Ok I lied GYachi and Frostwire either don't have APT repos or I just can't find them. Those are the only 2 packages I have had to download and install without using APT.
