Atomo64's Debian Repository

NEWS

The repository has been rebuilt. The real reposository is located at my local PC and this is just a mirror (there's an hourly cronjob which updates everything).
This new repository has all files signed, but I've noticed that some files are not being mirrored (but I'm working on it).

What is the pourpose of this repository?

The main debian repository doesn't contain some useful packages, or some are only available in testing or unstable.

IMPORTANT: these packages should be considered as for testing pourposes.
They should enter the Official Debian repository when they are ready (but note that some of the packages provided here are available until they are approved by ftp-master; an other situation is because PHP4 extensions aren't allowed anymore for lenny/sid; or as said above, because they didn't get into stable/oldstable).

Why aren't these packages in the official repository?

Main reason: no DD (Debian Developer) has sponsored them. But there are also other reasons like licensing-stuff:

• php-qt: GPL'ed, which conflicts with the PHP licence. Upstream has not been contacted
• gettext-kde: no attempt has been made to get it into Debian
• amarok-moodbar: Somebody recently uploaded the moodbar package in unstable but it is not available for Etch
• php4-cryptopp,php4-id3: needs a correct packagement (and to be repackaged for PHP5)
• kio-locate: this is not my package and I don't want to maintain it (but I want it packaged)
• *php*amf*,zend-framework: There's already a sponsor, but things need to be fixed on the packages
• php-htscanner: sponsor will be contacted soon
• zend-framework: sponsor contacted, copyright issues pending

The solution for most of the GPL-PHP problems is to add an exception to the GPL.

How can I use the repository?

Just add one of the next lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://deb.atomo64.puffinhost.com/debian lenny main (testing currently points to it)
deb http://deb.atomo64.puffinhost.com/debian etch main (stable currently points to it)
deb http://deb.atomo64.puffinhost.com/debian sarge main (oldstable currently points to it)

What are the supported architectures?

Only i386 and amd64 are supported; but there are currently no amd64 packages

Where are the sources of the packages?

Some of them aren't available because they were built as Debian native packages. For some others the source can be downloaded by using deb-src instead of deb in the above urls. And for the rest:

• http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kgb/kgb_1.0b4-2.dsc
• http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-qt/php-qt_0.0.3-1.dsc
• http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-amfext/php-amfext_0.9.1-1.dsc
• http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-adodb/php-adodb_5.04-1.dsc
• http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libphp-amf/libphp-amf_1.2.6-1.dsc
• http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php_0.5.1-2.dsc
• http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-htscanner/php-htscanner_0.8.1-1.dsc
• http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/z/zend-framework/zend-framework_1.0.0-1.dsc

Where's the public key?

Even tough not everything is signed (most of the packages for stable and oldstable aren't), do this:

1. gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 7F63F07F78225914
2. gpg --armor --export 7F63F07F78225914 | apt-key add -

The source packages public key is 46D9CE5A, which can be downloaded just like the above one.
