[Hamara-devel] apt-add-repository

[Vikas Tara]

Hi,

Having just reinstalled my media centre to hamara 1.0.1, I needed to 
install the latest XBMC.

We're currently shipping quite an old version - whereas I had previously 
been using the ubuntu XBMC ppa.

Now, editing apt sources to allow the use of that same ppa for me is 
straightforward - but it did open up some questions:

1. Should we customise apt-add-respoitory so that you can add ubuntu 
ppa's directly with that command?

2. Should we mirror ppa's?

3. Should we support ppa's at all (Debian don't seem to)?

Interested in other people's views.

I personally like the flexibility of supporting ppa's - it gives our 
user base access to newer packages and greater freedom of choice.

Regards



Vik
