Doable

Good poetry? No. But bad poetry, idiotic poetry, I think that might be doable.

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

  • Edit sources.list and add these lines: 
deb http://www.asheesh.org/ubuntu/ hardy main
deb-src http://www.asheesh.org/ubuntu/ hardy main
  • gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 0x70096AD1 ; gpg -a --export 0x70096AD1 | sudo apt-key add -
  • sudo apt-get update

For Debian

  • Edit sources.list and add these lines: 
deb http://www.asheesh.org/debian/ sid main
deb-src http://www.asheesh.org/debian/ sid main
  • gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 0x70096AD1 ; gpg -a --export 0x70096AD1 | sudo apt-key add -
  • sudo apt-get update

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:

  • apt-src -bi install $package

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

Sometimes apt will make the above complaint even though the mirrors are fine and so is your local SecureApt setup. Just do this: 

apt-get update -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True
