This apt repository is maintained by Andrew Straw. It exists primarily to distribute recent (bleeding edge) versions of scientific Python packages for internal, work-related purposes. This archive is opened to the public in the hopes that others benefit, although no assurance can be made about the quality or timeliness of the contents.
Most (or all) of the Python-based packages here have been built from unmodified upstream source with stdeb. stdeb does not build packages that follow the Debian Python Policy, so the packages here may be slighly unusual compared to Python packages in the official Debian or Ubuntu repositiories. For example, example scripts do not get installed, and no documentation is installed. Future releases of stdeb may resolve these issues.
If you want to put this repository in your sources list, you need to add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://debs.astraw.com/ dapper/ deb-src http://debs.astraw.com/ dapper/
If you have any issues with packages on this repository, please send an email to Andrew Straw <strawman@astraw.com>.
When you start using this repository, you might get warning messages like this:
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available.
Or you will be asked questions like this over and over:
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! ... Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
Install the package astraw-keyring to eliminate these messages. This installs my archive signing key to your apt through the apt-key add command.
