QTM now available in online repositories

While the release of most of the new packages is being held up by the problems with the SourceForge file release system (a bug report has been filed, but it's gone quiet the last few days), I have got my Ubuntu package repository up and running. It now contains packages of QTM for the i386, AMD64 and LPIA architectures (the last being a low-power Intel chip used for mobile devices) but not for PowerPC, support for which on Ubuntu stopped a couple of years ago.

You will need to add this line to your APT sources file (/etc/apt/sources.list):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/indigojo/ubuntu hardy main

This can be done by manually editing the file or in Synaptic (Settings menu > Repositories > Third Party Software; click Reload after you close the Repositories box). I have a package for Gutsy as well that I built myself, but its release will have to wait until SourceForge is back up.

Update: I now have an OpenSUSE repository up and running as well. You need to add one of these two locations (10.2, 10.3) to your list of software repositories in YaST; see here for instructions.
