<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Positively asserting that eprints will not move beyond Ubuntu 14x or that the apt repository will no longer be maintained is a little disconcerting. Is there a statement to
that effect? If it’s just a matter of updating the repository with a signed release file that no one has gotten around to yet, that’s a different story. It shouldn’t take much to do that.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Also, there is an older method before the apt install method was introduced that used to work. Has anyone tried that with Ubuntu 16x? It involves installing the dependencies
first and then the eprints from source. I’m a little pressed for time right now, but I have an older set of instructions that could be tried.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Yeah, I think the general rule for the time being is that EPrints is just not working on anything above 14.04. I’m not sure if there’s any kind of timescale for
fixing that going forward. We were looking at bringing our repository (eprints.lincoln.ac.uk) onto a more modern Ubuntu install but we’ve had to cap it at 14.04 with the most recent EPrints on that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
