SteamOS Tools Repository
Table of Contents generated with DocToc
This page offers details about the hosted Debian package repository at packages.libregeek.org. Now that the repository is live, it now offers some software to make installations much easier. A perfect example is RetroaAch and the cores (packages starting with libretro-*)
Packages are sourced from hosted sites, Debian, Ubuntu, and more. If you should have any questions about a packages origin, you can either unpack it with dpkg -x, or ask on irc. I Typically hang out in the #steamos IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. You can also email [email protected]
You can find usage statistics for SteamOS-Tools packages and more at:
steamos-tools-stats.libregeek.org
Currently, the brewmaster Libregeek repository contains a stable (brewmaster), and unstable (brewmaster_testing) dist release. Once some of the packaging efforts stabilize here and a regular schedule of rebuilding / testing is established, the overall flow will be:
[First week of the month]
Previous month builds / rebuilds from brewmaster_testing (if available) are moved to brewmaster (stable) after
[Second week of the month]
Latest versions (if available) of builds/rebuilds pacakged for brewmaster_testing
The goal is to use the 3rd and 4th weeks of the month to handle if a bad package got through, and implement any fixes or revisions. This is barring other duties and responsibilities that require more attention. Help is very appreciated here.
If you should want to, you could add the public release schedule with the links below.
For complete details regarding origin, release, and more, please see the Packaging Information wiki page.
It is highly suggested you use the add-debian-repos.sh script in the root of this repository. However, if you wish to only add the steamos-tools repository, its information can be found below. The pin preference value is subject to change. I've found that it seems to play nice with apt-cache policy and the order of the universe :)

If you or anyone should see a package that is out of date, please let me know. I will try to accomdate updating it in a reasonable amount of time. You can do this by submitting an issues ticket. Most packages that are rebuilt from Ubuntu, are of the Trust release, but this is subject to change.
