CAELinux 2013: development and testing

vcfalk wrote: Hi all,

once again here where it should have been placed some days before:

... also same probs withsourceforge link to kent.dl....

Browsed sourceforge and finally replaced it by direct sourceforge link:

sourceforge.net/projects/caelinux/files

(NOTICE: plural s in projects AND /files added)

and everything loaded well.

Also IMHO its better to use

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

SALOME-MECA-2013 now loaded under 13.04 ...

I get a malformed list error. Could you be a little more precise in how you did this, i.e., the exact line you wrote in your sources.list file.

using LXLE

#CAElinux
deb sourceforge.net/projects/caelinux/files/dists 2013 testing
deb switch.dl.sourceforge.net/project/caelinux 2013 testing
deb sourceforge.net/projects/caelinux/files 2013 testing
none works

Hi all,

maybe I was not too explicit in description because I was too much inside ...

Sorry Joel, don't have any exceeded sourceforge experience - just found it by searching sourceforge.

Now trying to explain it better:

1. Sourceforge original repository for direct download of e.g. 64bit 2013 version is the following URL:

The mirror link for the deb packages

right now redirects to the original sourceforge page with the URL given before.

2. With UBUNTU 13.04 installed and momentary only interested in latest SALOME-MECA I tried to download via apt-get from

but got troubles (don't remember the exact error messages anymore)

3. Changed my /etc/apt/sources.list manually with a sudo gedit by adding

(TAKE CARE: 2013 and testing is separated by a blank!)

4. Afterwards proceeded as Joel decribed some time ago:

sudo atp-get update
sudo apt-get install caelinux -apt-sources
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install SALOME-MECA-2013.1-LGPL

SALOME loaded and so far for me it was fine.

No test download with other package names (SATURNE, ASTER, ...)

Hope this helps anyone a little step further.

All the Best - Volker
