- krazykit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24That's a truly excellent way to break your system. Looking between them, there are doubles of many packages. Both Seveas and PLF provide w32codecs among other things. I wouldn't suggest using this. If anything, you should check out the repositories individually to decide which ones you need instead of throwing them all together into your sources.list.
- krazykit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Just noticed a few other things. He has Breezy and Mepis stuff in there too. Since Breezy and Mepis versions may try to link to different library versions, you'll very likely experience breakage and apt-hell. If you use this sources.list, you're on your own figuring out problems.
- Haroldx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12These are italian repositories.. remove "it" from the front of archive.ubuntu.com and put "us"
Make sure you run
sudo apt-get update - sark666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Be careful with this list. I'd cherry pick from it instead of adding all of them. He has many mixed sources in there from debian unstable, stable and experimental. Something is bound to break.
- MasterJediYoda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12This is a dumbass list, there can be conflicts with packages. Yes you can have hundreds of repositories in your sources.list but to do this is very stupid. Some repositories will install new libraries that is needs for programs, and it can break other packages. And other repositories will then expect an older library(their version). This is just a bad idea on so many levels. I wouldn't add all of these repositories to my sources.list
Don't believe me? /join #ubuntu or #debian (what Ubuntu is based on) and ask the developers. - r121, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Good resource. It says it's based on Ubuntu's Source-o-Matic, found here
http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic - bogomill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Things will break, if and only if you insist on installing packages that create conflicts or introduce dependencies that create conflicts. APT is smart enough to figure out dependencies and conflicts, so unless you insist on installing packages that introduce conflicts, there should be no harm in using all of these repositories together.
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4First of all, that was an incredibly arrogant sounding troll. If you want to get taken seriously, try a more moderate, less "holier than thou" attitude. Seriously, people like you are the reason Mac users get stuck with the stigma of being the only fanboys bad enough to rival the raving Nintendo fanboys (relax, I'm not an anti-Wii troll, I'd consider myself something of a Nintendo fanboy).
Ubuntu beats OS X hands down in one crucial area: price. I will NOT fork over the enormous hardware costs of buying a Macintosh computer when I can build my own (or buy an inexpensive retail) Windows/Linux PC for tremendously reduced prices. I get so sick of the rabid Apple fanboys who try to pretend there's no reason not to buy a Mac. All of my commercial software runs on Windows, and if I want more security and stability, I have Ubuntu. Heck, it's not like I have any difficulty with malware on XP anyway. Free software plus a few minutes a month keeps my system nice and clean. Now explain to me why I'd want to fork over for an overpriced Mac plus the cost of getting OS X-compatible versions of all my software? - mygaffy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"COMPLETE" for that individual. DANGEROUS for beginners!
- slartybardfast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm a Mac OX S user and I'm still going to mod you down... Ubuntu is a good OS.
- admiralpro9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yea that list could lead to a broken box. All the Nightlys, Expirementals, and mixed Distros is bound to mess something up. I wouldn't use it.
- smartalecks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Translated to English: (not the repositories, what he wrote in his blog)
http://tinyurl.com/g9jv6 - xiangxianni, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2Good list,I will add it to my soure.list file.
http://www.tips5.com - xoundmind, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Mixing Debian repositories (regardless of distro) is one extremely bad idea. You'd better know what you are doing in a real way once your libc6, libc6-dev and locales files get out of sync with the rest of your system. Do NOT take this approach towards Debian.
- chadwick359, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think that may be a bit harsh. I pul stuff from etch a fair amount of the time because I want a newer package then Ubuntu has, but usually I only enable the repo long enough to update what I want and then comment it back out. Mixing repos can be dangerous, but only if your not careful about what you are doing.
- Ndiggnation, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, I dugg it thinking, "Cool a good repository list". Then as I was looking through to see what they were, I thought that was a bad idea. I'm even a little paranoid with having just two non standard repositories, one of them being beerorkid (for Compiz and XGL stuff).
- Lung-Dart, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The only reason Ubuntu, or most high end Linux systems (Fedora, Red hat, Debian, SuSE, Mandriva, etc) Don't work right out of the box is because of legal reasons. (Mandriva and SuSE now have pay for versions that do work out of the box).
For instance, you cant play mp3's on linux right away is because mp3 is a non free codec. It would cost the developers money to include it in there system. Same goes with the majority of codecs, and also Java. Those in my opinions are the only thing the average user needs to set up out of the box to get linux working to a usable potential.
You get what you pay for. Id just rather not spend $100~ on MacOSX and ~$2000 on half decent mac to get codecs, then to use my already existing computer and free OS, and install them myself in 30 minutes. - LoathRevolver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm gonna agree with Arramol on this one - well put.
Plus, Linux really isn't meant for people who only want to "point and click" their way around their computers. It's for people who want to delve deeper, learn more, and explore the inner workings of their computer and OS. It's a quest for knowledge IMHO. - bruce89, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oops, clicked on the wrong button, sorry it should be 2 lower than it is.
- Quash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You're better off installing what you need via http://www.ubuntuguide.org or programs like Automatix or EasyUbuntu. Source-O-Matic is an excellent source, but for goodness sake, create only the sources.list you *need.* The http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ sources.list which has PLF should meet the needs of 99.9% of users. For the other .1%, they should be savvy enough to understand the harsh consequences of breakage. If they don't, they should stick with the above options.
- Teaboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Why would you need so many different mirrors?
I always use http://debian.blueyonder.co.uk for all my debian goodness, and I never need anything else. Although if it went down I'd probably use http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US - beerorkid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2that is insane. imagine a newb thinking "ooh that is so kewl" and then getting some major issues.
at least one of my repo's is in there though ;) - krazykit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Actually, apt is NOT smart enough to fix some problems. Sure, it'll pull in dependencies, but the library versions may be wrong. This is especially evident with libexpat. Several weeks ago, (in Gentoo, but the example holds across distros that have seperate releases even more so) libexpat got a version bump. The library also got a version bump, and the older version was removed. All programs linking to that (removed) library broke and had to be recompiled.
Why is this relevant? Mixing packages from different releases is a Bad Idea. Since older programs are built and linked to different libraries than the newer programs, installing them may very well cause breakage, and should be avoided if at all possible. - Lung-Dart, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Its pronounced Ooo Boon Too, Its an african work, and its one of the easier ones to pronounce IMO.
I find Mac OS X is made for the every day computer user. the kind of person who "clicks on the blue e" because thats what the internet is.
Linux is better for my personal tastes, and a lot of other people who like power over there system, and Ubuntu is a damn good version of Debian. - adporter, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5if you're an American
- FullMetalMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3This is an awesome repository list! I was able to install everything!
Good find! +digg! - right75, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1It is made for people who click the "blue e", but not just for that segment. I use it to write quite a good deal of Java code, in addition to using it for MySQL, Tomcat, and other unix-based app development. But the cool thing about OS X, where upooptoo falls short, is with all the other great commercial apps that are available, such as Photoshop, Keynote, etc. And as with seemingly every Linux setup, you have to configure a bunch of crap to get the thing to work. Macs work when you turn them on. 'nuff said.
This guy agrees:

digg me. - right75, on 10/12/2007, -13/+1Stop wasting your time with lesser quality software like Ubuntu. And how do you pronounce that dumb word anyway.
Get a superior operating system: Mac OS X. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -29/+5STFUBUNTU
