CrunchBang Linux APT Repository
I've set-up an APT repository for CrunchBang Linux. This is something I've been meaning to do for sometime and I'm pleased that I've finally created it; being able to offer new packages and update existing ones should make life a bit easier, not to mention more fun.
I'm planning of using the new repository to issue updates for CrunchBang Linux, as well offering packages that are not available in the Ubuntu repositories. A couple of package updates which I've already uploaded include, Openbox 3.4.7-pre2 and obconf 2.0.3-0.
I've also uploaded a few other packages which I'm planning on using in the next release, see the wiki page for a list of available packages. All of the packages in the repository should be compatible with Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon", so if you're running with the Gibbon you're more than welcome to use it/browse the packages.
Adding the repository
Below are the instructions to add the CrunchBang Linux repository to your system's list of APT repositories. A shorter version of these instructions is available on the wiki, see: http://www.crunchbang.org/wiki/CrunchBangLinuxRepository
1. Open a terminal and enter the following to edit your APT sources:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Add the following line to the end of the file, save and exit:
deb http://crunchbang.net/packages-7.10.xx 7.10.xx main
3. Back in the terminal, add the GPG Key with the following command:
wget -q http://crunchbang.net/crunchbang.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -
4. Update APT:
sudo apt-get update
Enjoy :)
