Vislab repository for Debian and Ubuntu packages

This page describes how to add the UQ Vislab repository to the list consulted when searching for packages to install on a Debian or Ubuntu system.

1. Using Synaptic

Open the Synaptic Package Manager's Software Sources window (from the Settings->Repostitories menu).

For Ubuntu Gutsy, add the following entry in the Third Party tab of the Software Sources widget:
   deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian gutsy/
For Ubuntu Feisty, add the following entry in the Third Party tab of the Software Sources widget:
   deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian feisty/
For Debian Etch, add the following entry in the Installation Media tab of the Software Preferences widget:
     deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian etch/

Close the Software Sources window.

Now reload the package information (use the Reload button, or select Reload Package Information from the Edit menu).

2. Using command line:

For Ubuntu Gutsy, run:
    wget http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debuntu/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/source.list.d/uqvislab.list
For Ubuntu Feisty, run:
    wget http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debuntu/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/source.list.d/uqvislab.list
For Debian Etch, run:
    wget http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debuntu/sources.list.d/etch.list -O /etc/apt/source.list.d/uqvislab.list

Alternatively, just add the appropriate one the following lines to the beginning of your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian gutsy/
or deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian feisty/
or deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian etch/
