About


This page offers some details into 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]

Package build origins

Manually adding the SteamOS-Tools repository.


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 :)

Source list location (preferred)

/etc/apt/sources.d/steamos-tools

Preferences file location (preferred)

/etc/apt/preferences.d/steamos-tools

Outdated packages


If you or anyone should see a package that is out of date, please let me know.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.
