Hi all,
in light of the recent problems on the build-farm, I used the fact that
ever since work on v3.5.13-sru I have the automated preparation of source
packages and at the same time I have a private builder where I am doing
the test building, and where I have available all supported Debian and
Ubuntu distributions (for example, see my test for building on Ubuntu
Trusty). I optimize my production line for building packages, so now I
have ready alternative APT source containing packages for all supported
Debian and Ubuntu distributions.
The same packages will be in the future uploaded to my PPA on build-farm,
where they will serve as maintanance releases for R14. Similarly, as was
my PPA for v3.5.13-sru branch. Therefore, this apt source I call 'R14
preliminary stable-builds'. In order that the packages were readily
available, they are synced to my primary mirror.
What to do if you want to use it?
1) Add the source to sources.list:
deb
http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb *distribution-name* deps-r14
main-r14
2) From some public GPG keyserver download my key and import it into APT:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pks.gpg.cz --recv-keys ED1F4884
3) Update the packages in such a way as you used to do it :)
I hope it will be helpful.
Thanks Slávek. I have replaced "nightly builds" with your mirror.
Working fine, at the moment I have a dist-upgrade running (Wheezy) in
download-only mode at 150-250 kB/s
After R14 release, when will this mirror setup no longer work?

I intend to keep this APT repository active after release R14.0.0. However, in
the same way as my PPA's on build-farm - there will be a preliminary packages
for subsequent stable releases - as will R14.0.1, R14.0.2,...
