Scratchbox repositories

Why?
Since distributions seem to use different formats for the "/etc/apt/source.list" file, we decided to create this page for the benefit of people that don't want to reinstall scratchbox every few weeks... ;)
How?
In the Scratchbox, do:
$ vi "/etc/apt/sources.list" <put new entries> $ apt-get update $ apt-get dist-upgrade
Chinook
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ chinook free non-free deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ chinook free
Warning
Note that for at least one user, the current chinook repository doesn't work anymore:
(Reading database ... 12047 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace passwd 1:4.0.3-31sarge5.osso7 (using .../passwd_1%3a4.0.3-31sarge5.osso7_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement passwd ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/passwd_1%3a4.0.3-31sarge5.osso7_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/sbin/add-shell', which is also in package debianutils Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/passwd_1%3a4.0.3-31sarge5.osso7_i386.deb E: Sub-process /scratchbox/devkits/debian-sarge/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
When that happens, you can't dist-upgrade either. So do this BEFORE editing "/etc/apt/sources.list" (or reedit it for "Chinook"):
$ apt-get install passwd $ dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/passwd_1%3a4.0.3-31sarge5.osso7_i386.deb $ apt-get install --reinstall debianutils $ dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/debianutils<tab
Or if that doesn't work either, you can, AS A LAST RESORT, try editing "/etc/apt/sources.list" for "Diablo" (see below), and then:
$ apt-get install passwd
This will update "passwd" to Diablo's "passwd". If you expect anything to work after that, did I tell you already that this advice comes with no warranty? ;)
No really, in the worst case your Scratchbox will be broken after that and you'll have to reinstall Scratchbox.
If it actually did work, don't forget to dist-update as soon as possible afterwards so that the remainder of the system is updated too (and hopefully doesn't choke on the already-updated "passwd"):
$ apt-get dist-upgrade
In any case, should the following happen after you updated the distribution one way or another:
Preparing to replace passwd 1:4.0.3-31sarge5.osso7 (using .../passwd_1%3a4.0.3-31sarge5.osso8_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement passwd ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/passwd_1%3a4.0.3-31sarge5.osso8_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/sbin/remove-shell', which is also in package debianutils
Then do this:
$ fakeroot dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/passwd_1%3a4.0.3-31sarge5.osso8_i386.deb
So it finally shuts up and you have involuntarily updated to Diablo. ;-)
Diablo
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/sdk free non-free deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/sdk free deb http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/tools free non-free deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/tools free
Porting Debian Packages
If you are interested in porting applications from Debian then you may want to add:
deb-src http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib
to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-source.list This allows apt-get source <package> to pull in source that should be reasonably compatible with Diablo.
