I’ve set up a repository for experimental recipes I’ve written, such as CVS or SVN versions or major new releases, that aren’t necessarily fully reliable yet. At the moment, there’s an SVN trunk version of Subversion and a BZR-SVN recipe that depends upon it. There will likely be others in future. If you want to enable this repository for your own use, update /System/Settings/Compile/Compile.conf to add “http://mwh.geek.nz/files/gobo/recipes/experimental/” in the getRecipeStores array:
"http://gobolinux.org/recipe-store"
"http://mwh.geek.nz/files/gobo/recipes/experimental/"
)
The Subversion recipe particularly may not work, since it pulls directly from their trunk and could break at any time.
I would like to see these sorts of external repositories used for other unstable recipes as well – KDE 4, in particular, really shouldn’t be in the master store, so all of those recipes should go elsewhere. Those who wanted to use them could opt in by adding the repository to their Compile.conf
