GetDeb has no official repository.
If you want http://ubuntu.org.ua/ has created a repository containing GetDeb packages, but it is not official repo.

If you want to add it open a terminal and:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

copy and paste this two lines at the end of the file:

## GetDeb repository : http://www.getdeb.net/
deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/

close gedit and terminal, open synaptic and click on Refresh button.
Probably synaptic will alert you that some repo are not trusted because there isn't a gpg key for this repo.

Remember this is no official GetDeb repository so be careful.

the repository is 100% unofficial and we have no control over it (Infact we discourage the use of it)

Anybody can create getdeb mirror + repo
currently repo size ~18 Gb

$cat /usr/local/sbin/mirgetdeb
#!/bin/bash -x
/usr/bin/rsync -av -r --stats --progress --delete-after rsync://www.getdeb.net/getdeb /mnt/getdeb/
cd /mnt/
/usr/bin/apt-ftparchive packages getdeb/ >getdeb/Packages
/bin/cat getdeb/Packages | /bin/gzip -c >getdeb/Packages.gz
/bin/cat getdeb/Packages | /bin/bzip2 -z -c >getdeb/Packages.bz

/usr/bin/apt-ftparchive sources getdeb/ >getdeb/Sources
/bin/cat getdeb/Sources | /bin/gzip -c >getdeb/Sources.gz
/bin/cat getdeb/Sources | /bin/bzip2 -z -c >getdeb/Sources.bz

So, why don`t we make a public-accessible repository for getdeb?

Maybe a Repository would be great. Only for testing machines not for production machines.

What do you think about a repository service avaible in launchpad?
Can be used for this idea?
