[Bio-Linux] BioLinux - sources.list

[Tim Booth]

Hi Stephen,

Please join the mailing list to be sure of seeing all replies.

I think you're just missing that /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* is also
incorporated into the mix.  In Ubuntu the sources.list tends to be
auto-generated by the update manager and extra additions go into the
list.d/ directory.

Your lines look fine apart from the "boil-linux" bit, but you may also
want to mirror the CRAN repo and the FreeNX repo if you use that.

Note that I'm currently finishing and testing the script that upgrades
you to Ubuntu 14.04/Bio-Linux 8.  That re-writes the sources
configuration and adds the C2D4U repo of R modules so be aware you'll
need to re-fix your settings after you upgrade.

Cheers,

TIM
