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!

Suite	sid (unstable)	bullseye (testing)	buster (stable)	stretch (oldstable)	bionic (18.04)
main: Free software addons for Debian and Ubuntu. For stable releases, unofficial backports are also included. This section also includes Utopia-branded packages containing my desktop settings and custom package sets (meta-packages).	sid/main		buster/main	stretch/main	bionic/main
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†		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.	N/A		buster/forks	stretch/forks	bionic/forks
nightlies: Automatic nightly builds by the Utopia Repository team.	sid-nightlies		buster-nightlies	stretch-nightlies [EOL 2019-11-30]	N/A
experimental: Bleeding edge & testing packages that may upgrade system libraries and thus cause package conflicts. Use with caution!	experimental	N/A

† Limited support for imports suites

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 sections:

Note: Enable JavaScript for a friendly sources.list generator!deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/utopia-repository.asc] http://deb.utopia-repository.org/ your-dist component1 component2 ... deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/utopia-repository.asc] http://deb.utopia-repository.org/ your-dist component1 component2 ...

2) Install the repository's PGP signing key

Download the utopia-keyring package over HTTPS and install it locally:

wget https://deb.utopia-repository.org/keyring-latest.deb
sudo apt-get install ./keyring-latest.deb

Updates to the keyring set will be automatically applied afterwards.

3) 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. :)
