Linux Mint 8 Helena Community Repo

[merlwiz79]

Clem has removed the Community Repo for Helena.

Merlwiz: Yes, the project never really took off and with Mint 8 I preferred to give maintainers more margin of manoeuvre with the repositories and to give up with the community section.

Clem

As you read I now have my own repo and will use it for the packages.
Here is the repos to add:

Code: Select all

deb http://packages.linuxmint.com helena-xfce main upstream import
deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com helena-xfce main upstream import

I believe you only will need upstream and import as main will be for the xfce packages.

Already added:(No amd64 packages yet)
gtk2-engines-nimbus 0.1.4
gyachi 1.2.2

Question: Mainly, because I like to stay on top of everything or was that, on the 'bleeding edge' of everything ?

Can I add the LinuxMint-Xfce repositories, listed above, to my current Mint-8 Software Sources ??
Or will that 'b0rk' my Mint install ?

Motto: If it ain't broken, I'm not trying hard enough.

Nope, shouldn't break anything.

I added spicebird to the Repo for those who use it.
