how to add external ppas to ppm ubuntu precise ?
Posted: Wed 22 May 2013, 08:37
Hi everyone
When using ubuntu I often have to get some software from external repos ppa so I edit /etc/apt/sources.lst and run apt-get update then I run apt-get install my-software (I also install gpg pubkeys before).
How can I do the same with puppy so the external ppa appears in puppy packet manager ? So far it only sees the ubuntu repos... where are the settings for the repos ?
Also, maybe it is another question: I got apt-get running in puppy-precise, and ran apt-get update, but when I want to apt-get something it does offer to pull a lot of things that surely are already in puppy, only apt-get don't know about them : Is it possible to have apt-get in sync with the puppy packet manager and build the local database of installed softwares ?
Many thanks for your help.
