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 9.04 (Jauny Jackalope), add the following entry in the Third Party tab of the Software Sources widget:
deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian jaunty/
For Debian Lenny, add the following entry in the Installation Media tab of the Software Preferences widget:
deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian lenny/

Similarly for older versions (intrepid, hardy, etch, etc.), just substitute the appropriate version name. However software for the older Debian/Ubuntu versions may be incomplete and is not as up to date.

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 Jaunty, run:
sudo wget http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debuntu/sources.list.d/jaunty.list -O /etc/apt/source.list.d/uqvislab.list
For Debian Lenny, run:
sudo wget http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debuntu/sources.list.d/lenny.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 jaunty/
or deb http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian lenny/
