== Why? ==

Since distributions seem to use different formats for the
"/etc/apt/sources.list" file, we decided to create this page for the benefit
of developers who don't want to reinstall Scratchbox every few weeks... ;)

== How? ==

In '''Scratchbox''', do:

$ vi "/etc/apt/sources.list"
 <put new entries>
 $ apt-get update
 $ apt-get dist-upgrade

== Fremantle ==

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras''-devel'' fremantle free non-free
 deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras''-devel'' fremantle free

== 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.
See [[Packaging#Porting_an_existing_Debian_package|Porting Debian packages]] for more details.

== 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 above), and then:

$ apt-get install passwd

This will update "passwd" to Diablo's "passwd". If you expect anything to work after that, HAHAHA. Did I tell you this advice comes with no warranty?
No really, if you are lucky (about as lucky as not getting run over when crossing the street on foot while traffic is high), it could 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 this 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. ;-)
