I hold various packages here for my own usage and you are welcome to use them too. My packages are for oneiric/Ubuntu only. It may also work on debian but this is not guaranteed. If you want to use my repository you have to add it to your system as a source of packages. Here is how you do that.
wget http://veltzer.net/apt/public_key.gpg sudo apt-key add public_key.gpg
sudo apt-key list
# veltzer.net APT repository deb http://veltzer.net/apt oneiric main deb-src http://veltzer.net/apt oneiric main
wget -q -O - wget http://veltzer.net/apt/public_key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pdmt
Another option for using my packages is to just browse the repository and download the ones you want and then install them using dpkg --install [package name].
I once had a brand new 2.6.38 kernel made for ubuntu 10.10 (maverick). Yes - you could download this from ubuntu daily but they are compiling using a compiler that you do not have and cannot install and so you will not be able to install third party modules for your kernel. You will be able to do that with my kernels. I also have a -pae version of the kernel which will allow you to use 4G or more on 32 bit boards (ubuntu do not supply that either for 10.10). Update: If you upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 (natty) then you do not need my kernels and ubuntu do supply quite a reasonable -pae kernel for natty as well. You will still need the old firewire stack (see below). If you are in 11.10 then you don't need the firewire stack. If you are using a 37/38 kernel on a system and feel the urge for an old firewire stack I supply it here. Why would you want this? Well, many reasons but the best one is audio production (this is what I did it for). This you cannot find anywhere (or at least that is what google says).
I have my new PDMT tool here. It is still very much alpha.
I will add more packages in the future.
