Overview

This is Lube Mobile's repository for Debian. It contains packages used by Lube Mobile that are not part of the standard Debian distribution. Some of these packages are new, some are just copies of packages in unstable that haven't made it into a stable release, and some have been modified to suite Lube Mobile.

You are welcome to use what is here, free of charge, subject to the licences in the individual packages. You do so at your own risk. The packages come with no warranty or guarantee. In particular they almost certainly contain bugs, meaning that despite the authors best endeavours under some circumstances they will not behave in the way their documentation says. This could include crashing your computer, damaging your hardware, destroying your data, or allowing unauthorised access to your system.

Follow the links at the top of this page to browse the through the packages available. Each one has an automatically generated README that may help you decide whether it is useful.

The Keyring

Etch and later versions of Debian verify the packages you install have come from a trusted source. If you want to install packages here without tripping over that check and consequently getting "untrusted source" warnings you will have to tell your installation to trust this repository. To do that install the debian-lubemobile-keyring package.

Lines to add to sources.lst

If you want to use "apt" or its friends to download and install these packages you must add lines like the ones below to your /etc/apt/sources.lst file for every package you use. These lines contain the URL you see in your browser when browsing the package directory using the link above. For example, if you are looking at the cups-emailpdf package, your browser will display a URL like this:

http://www.stuart.id.au/russell/files/debian/lenny/cups-emailpdf

To include cups-emailpdf in /etc/apt/sources.lst, you would then add this line to it:

deb     http://www.stuart.id.au/russell/files/debian/lenny/cups-emailpdf /

If you want to install the sources using apt you will need this line as well:

deb-src http://www.stuart.id.au/russell/files/debian/lenny/cups-emailpdf /

You can instead add the entire repository to your sources.list, as opposed to cherry picking just the packages you need. I don't recommend this, but it is easier if you want a lot of packages. To do so add the following lines to sources.list:
