To use exclusively e17.dunnewind.net repository.
Enlightenment repository is hosted on 2 servers on e17.dunnewind.net dns.
E17 packages : architectures i386, amd64 and powerpc.
Enlightenment is a fast , eye-candy window manager for the X windows system. As it is always in development, and there is no release, the main dev doesn't want to add it in the Ubuntu repositories.
Anyway, Albin Tonnerre (Lutin) packages himself the Enlightenment DR17 applications / libraries. This repository is hosted by dunnewind.net .
This repository allows you to install :
A windows manager (E17)
A Login Manager (Entrance)
A lot of EFL app's (image viewer, audio player)
Some module as CPU viewer, clock, icon bar ...
Pre-requisite
Now lets begin the process, lets make sure our system is up to date.
In a terminal run the following command:
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
Public Key
The packages are signed. apt verifies that the packages signatures are correct. If you do not want to receive warnings when installing or upgrading packages from e17.dunnewind.net repository, you must import this public key inside the APT system, using the following commands:
wget http://lut1n.ifrance.com/repo_key.asc
sudo apt-key add repo_key.asc
Repository
To publish the file sources.list, you can use nano or your preferred editor. For example Gedit if you use the Gnome environment (in the order to replace sudo nano - w by gksudo gedit), Kate if you use environment KDE (in the order replace sudo nano - w by kdesu kate).
Next we will add the needed repository for E17 to our apt sources list. In a terminal copy and paste the following command:
sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list
Now you need to add the following lines to the end of your apt sources list:
## Elbuntu
deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu edgy e17
Save with CTRL + o, exit the file with CTRL + x.
Now we need to update source list using the following command:
sudo aptitude update
You can consequently install Enlightenment.
If you want to compile the sources, add the line to the Elbuntu repository:
## Elbuntu
deb-src http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu edgy e17
Do not hesitate to contact Lutin or Sp4rKy for all relative questions with Enlightenment.
