Create or update your PPA for install in Mint

[percherie]

Hi,

I use Linux Mint and command lsb_release -c return a codename version different (Nadia, Quiana). With a PPA installation it's simply, securely and adaptive.

For example without PPA i can use for Ubuntu but don't work for Mint

echo "deb http://josm.openstreetmap.de/apt `lsb_release -sc` universe #JOSM" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list && wget -q http://josm.openstreetmap.de/josm-apt.key -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

With PPA i can use for Ubuntu AND Mint

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openstreetmap/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install josm

Problem your PPA is out of date : ​https://launchpad.net/~openstreetmap/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

EDT: Sorry, I first need to wake up and read the report properly.

Is this the recommended way to install josm on ubuntu(-derivates) ?

At least for Ubuntu we have our own repository. See Download for instructions.

Do not know if these packages work with Mint, though, but please try and report the result. - Thanks.

• would it help to add Mint's codenames ?
• please, add your error messages.

Could you try to download the package from our repository manually and install it with dpkg in order to test if the package is working on Mint. - Thanks

I have added a new generic distribution, which should work for Mint:

deb http://josm.openstreetmap.de/apt alldist universe

i test new depot it's ok. I test after totality remove josm after add new adresse:

sudo apt-get autoremove josm
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install josm

Why don't prefer PPA ? Add new deposetery it's easy now.

We should remove this antediluvian version of JOSM from there... Who could do that?

The way it is set up at the moment, this would be significant additional work and I don't see a mayor advantages compared to our current repository.
