Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Repository Wars.: msg#00422

Subject: Repository Wars.

Hi Fernando. Is there some sort of repository war going on akin to the "Bill
Gates I own the software world" syndrome? I was looking for a step sequencer
that I could use my extensive library of .wav files with and found one at the
linux-sound.org site, which linked me to dag. As they had an apt url I
thought I'd use it. Dl'd the soundtracker program after running apt-get
update, all the planet stuff was there as well as dag's so everthing seemed
ok. The soundtracker program wouldn't produce any sound so I thought I'd DL a
MOD player just to check out the sounds. Ran apt-get update again. Now I get
dag and about 7 other hits that I hadn't entered in the sources.list and the
planet has been booted out. Looked in /etc/apt/ and there is a new
sources.list.d with dag and all the other new ones in. The sources.list with
the planet url's has vanished. I've just nuked the new sources.list.d and an
apt.conf.d that has appeared and if thats the way that dag want to play the
game tjhey can keep their repository. I've been very happy with planetccrma,
and have just got to get the urls set back in to a sources.list to continue
using it. Whats ironic is that dag say they are trying to get some sort of
conformity between the different repositories so that there arn't conflicts,
and the planet is mentioned amongst the others. To find that the planet has
been booted off my machine is almost beyond belief. As you can probably
gather I'm feeling just a tad annoyed at the moment. I'm not too clued up on
reverting files to their previous state and have got to try and restore the
planet's sources.list somehow. Nigel.
