General information
This is a reference page about the gNewSense repositories. It should be useful -mainly for users and testers- to quickly retrieve updated information and data related to our repositories. Users which mess around with apt screws up their configuration (sources list, signature keys etc.) or testers which are helping debugging the system or doing experiments could come here.
This page is for people who know what they are doing. The direct editing of sources list and the manual management of the signature keys could be dangerous to the stability and security of your system.
Please remember that the preferred way to change the repository info and manage the apt keys is through the Software Sources tool (menu: System > Administration > Software Sources).
gNewSense 2.3 DeltaH (stable version) repositories
gNewSense 2.3 DeltaH has a Primary repository and some Secondary (mirrored) repositories.
Please, note that the primary repository should NOT ordinarily be used: ONLY the secondary (mirrored) repositories should be used in the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
To query a (secondary, mirrored) repository you should specify the top-level domain country code (ccTLD) of your country in each row of the /etc/apt/sources.list file (as shown below): the DNS will do the rest of the work, choosing the mirror which is the best for you.
Primary repository
Please, do not use it directly. Use a secondary (mirrored) repository.
To query the gNewSense 2.3 DeltaH primary repository, your /etc/apt/sources.list file should contain:
## gnewsense deltah deb http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah main universe deb-src http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah main universe ## gnewsense deltah-security deb http://security.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-security main universe deb-src http://security.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-security main universe ## gnewsense deltah-updates deb http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-updates universe main deb-src http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-updates universe main ## gnewsense deltah-backports deb http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-backports universe main deb-src http://archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-backports universe main

Secondary repositories
The secondary repositories (hosted by the mirror sites) are those which users should ordinarily use.
To query a deltah secondary repository, your /etc/apt/sources.list file should contain
(note that XX MUST be replaced with the top-level domain country code (ccTLD) of your country - eg. it for Italy):
## gnewsense deltah deb http://XX.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah main universe deb-src http://XX.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah main universe ## gnewsense deltah-security deb http://XX.security.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-security main universe deb-src http://XX.security.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-security main universe ## gnewsense deltah-updates deb http://XX.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-updates universe main deb-src http://XX.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-updates universe main ## gnewsense deltah-backports deb http://XX.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-backports universe main deb-src http://XX.archive.gnewsense.org/gnewsense/ deltah-backports universe main
