Tvheadend

h2. Official Apt Repository

After a significant break from using our official repository, due to [[Adam|Adam Sutton]] no longer being actively involved, this has finally been be restored. With some slight alterations. There will still be 3 repositories, however the meanings has changed:

* http://apt.tvheadend.org/release - This will contain the latest official / stable release.
* http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable - This will contain a nightly build from the latest release branch. It will pick up fixes in prep. for the next release.
* http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable - This will contain a nightly build from the development branch (master). It will contain the bleeding edge, but could be potentially unstable.

h3. Support Distro's / Platforms

** Precise (12.04) - i386 / amd64

h3. Usage

Before you can use the repositories you probably want to import the GPG signing key:

<pre>
curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
</pre>

You will then need to add which ever repository you feel is most appropriate, for example if you want to be cautious and have a reliable system:

<pre>
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/release
sudo apt-get update
</pre>

Note: if you install more than one repository you will only ever get packages from the one holding the most recent version number, so the order of priority would be:

<pre>
unstable > stable > release
</pre>

You can easily remove a repository though, so should you suddenly come over all crazy and want to live on the edge:

<pre>
sudo apt-add-repository -r http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable
sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/unstable
sudo apt-get update
</pre>
