Readd standard repository

I'm obliged to maintain a daily-updated offline Ubuntu repository, that should be signed by my digital signature and be in a standard format.

I usually do dpkg-scanpackages -m . > ./Packages in my repo folder to create local repositories (and never sign anything!). Are there any standards to create and maintain a debian / ubuntu repository?

I'm trying to set up a PXE Boot Installer for Linux. The problem I'm having right now is that our standard repo that was have set up (http://MYHOST/repo/$RCE/SLES11-Online/sles-11-x86_64/) doesn't seem to be working as an install point (I keep getting "no repository found"), even though it works great as a means for a software repo (Its used by several hundred other servers)

Hmmm - I just checked my repository list to make sure I was keeping extra repositories out of the regular lineup ("enabled"). I noticed something - somehow I have two, and sometimes 3, of what seem to be the same repository - with slight differentiation in the URL.

Example: the OSS repository. Exists as -

When i use windows, the shell ( even standard windows shell ) shows basic informations about the git repository when you are in a git repository. Things like the active branch and maybe some color coding.

Is there a way to have the same in ubuntu?

What is the proper location for storing a central git repository on an Ubuntu 11.04 server?

I read this post and there appears to be conflicting information. This is related to www, but the idea is the same.

I currently have the repository located in /var/lib/git.repo.

Is there a simple utility which I can pipe output to on Linux that will:

Return a success code if there is no output on standard out (and / or standard error). Return a failure code if output is produced on standard out (and / or standard error).

To provide some context, the command I'm running is:

svn mergeinfo --show-revs eligible http://mysvnserver.example.com/SVF/repos/common/abc/branches

I created a deb file, which depends on some other packages. The problem is that those packages are much newer than those available in standard repositories, so I need to add another repository.

Why does this happen? I am (this time) trying to install Atmel's gnu-avr toolchain. Atmel's web site gives the repository as http:www.atmel.no/avr32/suse/11.0/i586. I put that into YAST2's repository manager, and it comes back with "unable to create repository from URL..."

I install clang the "normal" way (sudo apt-get install clang), but it seems to be unable to use the standard headers that it finds (or something similar with the standard libraries).

How can I configure clang to use the correct headers? Where are the correct headers?

(It would be appreciated if someone would add a clang tag to this question and then clean up this line)
