-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adding this repository to apt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://debian.gfoss.it/ main Where suite is squeeze (version 6, stable) or wheezy (testing). Add the repository key to apt keys: wget -O - http://debian.gfoss.it/debian-gfoss.key | apt-key add - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Packages on this repository are built on a local Debian box They are by no means official Debian packages. Official Debian Developers work on Debian Unstable and they are committed to the Debian quality control and official repository policies. This is why official Debian Testing packages appear not so quickly as you may desire. This repository is a quick and dirty hack. I do not guarantee any quality at all, and also I do not assure smooth upgrades between old and new versions (dependencies are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate). I suggest to do "dpkg --purge packages" manually, then "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get install package" to upgrade from an old version to the available one. For a better control: download the required .deb packages and do a "dpkg -i package_file.deb". Doing this do not require to add the repository to the apt sources.list.
