The primary purpose of badgerports is to provide recent versions of the Mono framework, and associated packages such as F-Spot, Banshee, and Monodevelop. Suggestions for other packages to include are welcome, but don't be offended if I decline for whatever reason. How do I use badgerports?

First, download a copy of the archive's GPG key from here [http://directhex.mfgames.com/directhex.ppa.asc], or obtain it yourself (key ID 0E1FAD0C).

Next, launch Software Sources (System, Administration, Software Sources) and navigate to the Authentication tab. Click "Import Key File" and select the key file from earlier.

Click on the "Third Party Software" tab, click "Add", type the following line, then click "OK":

deb http://directhex.mfgames.com/ hardy main

Now, click the "Close" button to enable all badgerports packages.
