Configure package resource list

The openthinclient repository server provides several flavors of package manager trees:

As default the openthinclient package manager will search for packages in manager and manager-contrib.
To change this behavior you have to edit the so called sources.list. In default installations this file is located here:

Windows
C:\Program Files\openthinclient\server\default\data\nfs\root\etc\sources.list

Linux
/opt/openthinclient/server/default/data/nfs/root/etc/sources.list

This sources.list file should look like this:
# Stable
deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager ./

# Contrib
deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager-contrib ./

# Testing
# deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager-testing ./

# Unstable
# deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager-unstable ./


Activate unstable repositories


Let's say you wish to get the latest and greatest ;-):
Open this file in a simple text editor and remove the comments for testing and unstable:

Notice: If you did not already create a backup, this would be a good point to start. Then you can test safely "unstable" and switch back to stable if something goes wrong.
# Stable
deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager ./

# Contrib
deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager-contrib ./

# Testing
deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager-testing ./

# Unstable
deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager-unstable ./

Save your changes and update the packages via package management. There is no need to restart the openthinclient server or manager. Simply click on "Search for updates" after editing this file.

Activate experimental repository


Adding the following lines is only recommended for a testing environment

# Experimental
deb http://archive.openthinclient.org/openthinclient/manager-experimental ./

The experimental repository contains early beta packages *only* for testing environments! For the experimental repository is no support available.
