Welcome to my personal repository of Ubuntu/Debian goodness.
The source code for this repository, management tools, etc. is available in the following subversion repository.
<http://svn.cs278.org/~chris/repos.cs278.org/>
The contents of this repository are signed using the
GPG
key with the fingerprint of 0xFF6FCB99. This ensures
that you can trust the packages downloaded from repository using APT
as being unmodified by third parties. You can find the public key
here, it can easily be imported into your local
APT keyring by issuing the following command.
# wget http://repos.cs278.org/key.gpg -O- | apt-key add -
The dists/ directory is where the repositories indexes are stored, and the GnuPG signed release files which allow the contents of the repository to beauthenticated.
The latest/ holds a copy of each package at its latest version for each distribution.
This directory is where all the packages and source packages are stored, when you download packages they are downloaded from within here.
Contained within this directory are a few tools which maybe useful when using the repository.
The main component is where all general released packages are available from, this is the suggested component to use for common users.
Snapshots are automatic releases made from the packages subversion repository therefore, they are likely to be unstable and might cause damage to your computer. You should always install packages from the main component where possible, and only use the snapshots if you are a developer or know what you are doing.
