Sources.gz

[jgod]

I don't know if this is the right place for this (I'm new at managing repo's), but my machine complains when I use the repo this generated, because it can't find a Sources.gz. How do you make a Sources.gz and would this benefit from having it generate one?

I'm also having a similar issue.

@aidansteele 403 forbidden seems to suggest permissions issues.

@jjshoe Thanks for the response. That seems to be an idiosyncrasy of S3. Turns out my bug was an issue with an old version of add-apt-repository included with Ubuntu 12.04. It would automatically insert a corresponding deb-src line for each deb line you wanted to add. This caused apt-get update to fail as above.
