[Bio-Linux] Bio-Linux 8 Repositories

[Tim Booth]

Hi Simon,

The instructions for setting up APT stuff got quite complex since there
are multiple repositories and associated GPG keys to handle.

Most of the goodies are in the PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~nebc/+archive/ubuntu/bio-linux/+packages

You can add just this repo and the packages it provides should work
fine, but if you really want all of Bio-Linux then you should run the
upgrade8.sh script as detailed here (section 4):

http://environmentalomics.org/bio-linux-installation

...and trust to my scripting to set APT up properly to pull all the
packages.

(If you don't trust my scripting and want to inspect it, run
wget -qO- http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/downloads/bl8_only/upgrade8.sh | env UNPACK_ONLY=1 sh
and look at the comments in upgrade_to_8.sh in the temporary folder it
creates)

Hope that helps,

TIM
