Ubuntu RepositoryAs a convienence, I provide source and binary packages of my programs for Ubuntu in an APT repository. I use a custom numbering scheme to ensure that you will get packages from Ubuntu instead of from me if they have the latest version of my programs in their repositories. I make packages available for the following releases of Ubuntu:
To use these packages there are a couple of small steps that you will need to do. To simplify installation, I have written a script that you can download and run in a terminal to automate them.
The first thing that you will need to do is download my PGP public key. Once you have done that, you can install it into your APT keyring by running the following in a terminal:
sudo apt-key add gottcode.asc
Next you will need to add my repository to your APT sources. You can do this either by editing the text file '/etc/apt/sources.list' as root, or by running the graphical "System Sources" program available in the "Administration" submenu of the "System" menu. Add the following line using either method, making sure to replace RELEASE with lucid, karmic, or jaunty depending upon which Ubuntu release you use.
deb http://apt.gottcode.org/ubuntu RELEASE main
If you wish to modify these packages, you can also add the package sources for my repository. Follow the method you used before to add my repository, except that you will need to use the following line:
deb-src http://apt.gottcode.org/ubuntu RELEASE main
You will need to reload you APT sources after you have finished adding my repository. If you used the graphical "System Sources" program it will help you to do that, but if you used the terminal to you will need to run the following command:
sudo apt-get update
I provide NO WARRANTY for the packages in this repository. I also do not gaurantee that they will work for you; however, please contact me if they don't and I will try to help.
