News

2019-04-30: KEY TRANSITION - All repository updates going forward will now be signed with the Utopia Repository Automatic Signing Key (4A4A7B0E6EFB2FD90FD4F58C4A8C96B8EEBB01E6). This is the same key that is currently used to provide nightly builds.
2018-12-22: A new mirror is available (Europe) at deb2.utopia-repository.org, serving all suites except nightlies. The main server (USA) remains at deb.utopia-repository.org
2018-08-18: The Utopia Repository moves to a new address: deb.utopia-repository.org
Nightly builds will now be served from: ni.deb.utopia-repository.org

The following suites exist in The Utopia Repository, but availability varies between OS versions. Please check which sections suit your setup before adding things to sources.list!

imports: Extra packages that are either mirrored from an external source or not supported well enough (by me) to put in main. May include non-free content.	sid/imports† QA: Watch		buster/imports†	stretch/imports†	bionic/imports†
forks: Forked / modified packages that intend to replace the versions available in Debian or Ubuntu. Changes for each package vary - see their individual changelogs for more info.	sid/forks QA: Watch		buster/forks	stretch/forks	bionic/forks
nightlies: Automatic nightly builds by the Utopia Repository team.	sid-nightlies		buster-nightlies Coming soon	stretch-nightlies	N/A

Instructions

This repository works like any other APT repository or Ubuntu PPA, and is signed using a PGP key. Both HTTP and verified HTTPS are available.

1) Add the repository to sources.list

I am using and would like the following dists:

Note: Enable JavaScript for a friendly sources.list generator!deb http://deb.utopia-repository.org/ your-dist component1 component2 ... deb-src http://deb.utopia-repository.org/ your-dist component1 component2 ...

2) Install the repository's PGP signing key

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 4A4A7B0E6EFB2FD90FD4F58C4A8C96B8EEBB01E6

3) Install the utopia-keyring package (optional)

To keep the signing keys in sync via apt in case of updates, you can install the utopia-keyring package from the main section of most release repositories (e.g. sid/main).

4) Enjoy?!

After adding the repositories of your choice, simply run apt-get update to update your repository cache. Then, you will be able to install packages whichever way you like. (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.)

About

Why did I make this?

Simplicity. Instead of adding 5 repositories for the things I commonly use, I only need to add 1.
Convenience. This repository hosts a few meta-packages (utopia-* in main) to make it easier to pull in a working system. (forget selecting 30 individual packages!)
The learning experience. This is pretty self-explanatory. :)
