I'm trying to add this unoficcial repository to my Ubuntu 12.04 machine (32 bits), in order to install a software called SLTV. According to the official site, the following lines should be used:deb http://debian.holoscopio.com/sltv/ ./deb-src http://debian.holoscopio.com/sltv/ ./If I add manually these 2 lines to /etc/apt/sources.list (or to a new file in etc/apt/sources.list.d/) and then run apt-get update, I get an error message -- I'm not at work now, so I can't provide the exact error, but I can edit this post to include the message tomorrow.I noticed the repository lines in the above example don't have the main/stable/whatever arguments. I'm not exactly sure what they mean. I'm guessing it's related to the distro release and to the machine architecture.From what I see on other repositories and packages such as dropbox, the line deb http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu karmic main are a reference to the http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/ folder.But on this particular repository of the first example, the Packages.gz file is on the sltv folder. I'm guessing this is the reason for the ./ in the repository line. And I'm guessing this being in the repository line is the reason for the error.My questions are:Are my guesses wrong or correct?In either case, how to proceed?
Adding repositories with ./
ubuntu;apt;repository
I tried the same process now and it worked fine.I can't figure out what was wrong before, but it was either a remote issue or some mistake by the user (me). I have confirmed (and others confirm in comments), having ./ in a sources.list file is a valid syntax, at least in ubuntu 12.04.
