Internal apt-repository has changed

Written by wbabernits - 2009-06-05

We have sent setup instructions to all developers by email. You can now access the non-public apt-repository on port 8080. The repo has moved to our Apache server at Osdevcom and is now maintained by Conmunix.

If you want to add packages to the archive, you have to copy them into the "pool" directory. There are tools available to add new packages with less effort.

Example:

  1. Upload the package linux-image-2.6.29.4-1_amd64.deb to the main pool.
  2. Unlink an existing package in the (u = universal) pool.
    apt-unlink linux-image-2.6.29.3-1_amd64.deb u
  3. Link the new package in the u pool.
    apt-link linux-image-2.6.29.4-1_amd64.deb u
  4. Wait while the server generates a Packages.gz file within the next 60 seconds.
  5. Now you can use apt-get on your machine to install the package.

Note that this apt-repo is password protected and accessible for developers only.
