Updated repos for Ubuntu 11.10? Varnish, Lame, php, mysql etc

I'm about to start afresh with a new instance of a blank VPS and ISPConfig 3.0.4 - I want apache as far away from me as possible, banished forever!

I know I have to build nginx manually as I need I need the mp4 streaming and cloudflare compiled in.

But, even after updated apt-get, when I went to fetch the required bits and pieces, it was giving me old versions:

Php: Latest version is: 5.3.8
Wants to install:
5.3.6-13ubuntu3.2

Lame: Latest version is: 3.99
Wants to install: 3.8.4

Mysql: Latest version is: 5.5.18
Wants to install: 5.1.58

Varnish: Latest version is: 3.0.2
Wants to install: 3.0.0-4 (six months old)

The only thing I found that was up to date was SoX, at version 14.3.2

Any suggestions for what to add to my sources.list or am I stuck with roaming around to find unofficial repos or trying to compile things myself?

I can answer my own question here - took me 3 hours of googling and I learnt a bit along the way though!

edit /etc/apt/sources.list

add these lines

Code:

deb http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ lucid nginx

deb-src http://nginx.org/packages/ubuntu/ lucid nginx



deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

Save and then do:

Code:

wget http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg

cat dotdeb.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

apt-get update

Found at http://www.dotdeb.org/instructions/ and right at the bottom of http://nginx.org/en/download.html

Thanks for this, it helped me out!
