Repository Code Names
Stibo DX is in the process of introducing repository code names to help with the installation of CUE software. A repository code name is an easy to remember word used to name an APT repository. A repository that has been given a code name contains packages for a set of product versions that are guaranteed to be inter-operable. Instead of having to remember a lot of version numbers and check them for compatibility with one another, you can just use the same code name when installing all the components of your system, and be sure that they will work together.
An alphabetic sequence is followed when choosing code names, so a
repository with the code name eyre
can be assumed to
contain later versions of products than a repository with the code name
dedman
.
If you have been given a code name for installing CUE software, then you should use it as follows when adding CUE repositories to your list of sources:
#
echo "deb https://user:password@apt.escenic.com code-name main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/escenic.list
If your code name is eyre
, for example, then you
should enter:
#
echo "deb https://user:password@apt.escenic.com eyre main non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/escenic.list
This ensures that all products installed using the
apt
command will be installed from the
eyre
repository.
If you haven't been given a code name, then use the default name
stable
. This will add the most recent stable
CUE
APT repository to your list of sources.
