Instructions

This repository works like any other APT repository, 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: 








2) Install the repository's PGP signing key


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



sudo apt-get install ./utopia-keyring_*_all.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?


    
    
  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. :)
    4.
