The easy way to install that repo is by installing this package: https://www.kristshell.net/debian/pool/main/k/kristshell-repo/kristshell-repo_1.3_all.deb That package will set up the lines below in sources.list.d/kristshell.list, and add our repo key. == deb http://login.kristshell.net/debian jessie main deb-src http://login.kristshell.net/debian jessie main == Also, if you «dget https://www.kristshell.net/debian/pool/main/k/kristshell-repo/kristshell-repo_1.3.dsc» it will fetch and unpack the source that we use for easy updating our repo accross all servers. So if we need to move the repo, we just update that package and all servers will switch on next package updates. it is also easy to properly setup our repo on new servers. -- Johnny A.
