How do I add a repository to woof.

#1 Post by stevenbinion »

I was building a debian pupplet for the first time with woof when I got the following error.

Code: Select all

Checking that compat-distro pkgs specified in PKGS_SPECS_TABLE actually exist...
FAIL: libfaac0
FAIL: libfaac-dev
FAIL: libdrm-intel1
FAIL: libdrm-nouveau1
Finished, but some failures. You need to fix the above entries in
PKGS_SPECS_TABLE in file DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-debian.
so I looked at DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-debian and find the lines were basic enough for the files and what I needed was the REPOS lines. so I checked on http://packages.debian.org for this files searching for package contents, and partial package names, I found nothing.

So I go to google and search, first entry was for http://debian.multimedia.org and sure enough all the files are there. I go back to DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-debian and find there is no repos entry for http://debian.multimedia.org, the array of repository's looks simple enough just thought it was pipe `|` separated. but when I added the new repository there was no change when I ran ./0setup

Instead of altering any of the scripts just download the missing .debs to your "packages-deb-lenny" folder and then run "./2createpackages" again but choose just the debs you want to convert.
