Personal Package Archive

I'm putting together a Personal Package Archive (PPA) on Launchpad which can be found at:

https://launchpad.net/~liamgh/+archive/ppa

I'll be putting much more information on this page soon!

Adding the PPA through the Ubuntu desktop:

1. The repository is digitally signed. You will need to download the public key first by saving the file lghppa-public.key to a location where you can find it again (right click on the link and select "SaveLink As...").
2. Go to Software Sources by selecting System -> Administration -> Software Sources
3. Under the Third Party Software tab click  + Add to add in the binary packages, enter:
   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/liamgh/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
   Note: if you are not using a different version of Ubuntu substitute "Jaunty" with "intrepid" for Ubuntu 8.10 or "hardy" for Ubuntu 8.04. The repository is a work in progress though so branches may be missing or incomplete.
4. Click + Add Source
5. Click on "+ Add" again to add the source packages (again substitute "jaunty" with the correct tag for your distribution):
   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/liamgh/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
6. Click + Add Source
7. Click on the "Authentication" tab and click Import Key File.
8. Select the file lghppa-public.key that you downloaded earlier and click Ok.
9. Click on Close you will be prompted to reload the available package information. Do so, and after the update the window will close.

 Adding the PPA using the terminal

1. Add the binary package information to your apt sources (if you are not using jaunty substitute it for the correct distribution).
   IMPORTANT: Note the double '>':
   sudo echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/liamgh/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Add the source package information:
   IMPORTANT: Note the double '>':
   sudo echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/liamgh/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
3. The repository is digitally signed so you will need to import the public key for it:
   sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 187f34b24a23a1ac
4. Update package information:
   sudo apt-get update
