1519	Missing VirtualBox 1.6.0 debian repository for Hardy Heron	Rexxy		Hello together, \r\nI'm missing the debian way of installing signed virtualbox 1.6.0 by repository.\r\n\r\nDid your team forget the debian ubuntu users who want to keep in touch \r\nof new releases of virtualbox by just adding the /etc/apt/sources.list?\r\nI used that way since spring 2007 and it worked like a charme. But now I tried \r\nto step forward with the following entries for Ubuntu 8.04 versions:\r\n{{{\r\n# VirtualBox debian source by InnoTek GmbH/Sun Microsystems\r\ndeb http://www.virtualbox.org/debian hardy non-free\r\n}}}\r\n\r\nNo success :-( latest version working was\r\n\r\n{{{\r\ndeb http://www.virtualbox.org/debian gutsy non-free\r\n}}}\r\n\r\nUbuntu 8.04 (=hardy) was released two weeks ago. Hardy is a long term\r\nsupport version (desktop editions until 2011 and server edition until\r\n2013). In my opinion Ubuntu hardy will be more requested than older ones.\r\n\r\nSure I know the binaries related to Hardy Heron can be downloaded at \r\nyour Sun download center and installed the manual alternate way.\r\nBut why running the hard way if you can get the best one like before?\r\n\r\nAnd, did your team revoke that common usual download way with signed \r\npackages? If yes, will that be announced?\r\n\r\nA lot of ubuntu users would like to have a download possibility at\r\nhttp://www.virtualbox.org/debian/dists/hardy/non-free/binary-i386/Packages.gz\r\nor similar.\r\n\r\nAn alternate will be to get the virtualbox from the ubuntu repositories, \r\nbut do you have an agreement with the ubuntu repository staff to do that \r\nright after your release day?\r\n\r\nKind regards\r\nRoland	task	closed	major	other	VirtualBox 1.6.0	fixed	repository, hardy heron, hardy non-free		other	other
