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: 








2) Install the repository's PGP signing key


sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key D5D568B2D34AB32A337944D22EC3F60DE71C0B9D



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?


    
    
  1. Simplicity. Instead of adding 5 repositories for the things I commonly use, I only need to add 1.
    2. 
    
  2. 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!)
    3. 
    
  3. The learning experience. This is pretty self-explanatory. :)
