Repository

I run a Debian package repository, with packages for Debian at http://www.asheesh.org/debian/ and packages for Ubuntu at http://www.asheesh.org/ubuntu/.

If you would like to use my repository, here is what you need to add:

For Ubuntu

deb http://www.asheesh.org/ubuntu/ hardy main
deb-src http://www.asheesh.org/ubuntu/ hardy main

For Debian

deb http://www.asheesh.org/debian/ sid main
deb-src http://www.asheesh.org/debian/ sid main

And then?

You're free to apt-get install whatever you want from my repositories now. If you would like to compile my packages from source, just do:
