Sorry, no. As I posted above the program manager fails in adding that catalog. Did anyone get it working?
If I try apt-get update with that catalog apt-get complains about an parse error (see above). As I understand it dist and component must be set in a catalog. ...and the corresponding direcories must exist on the repository server. Or you leave component/dist empty and put the repo in the root dir. Could you post the URL of the binary packages? I couldn't find them under http://obra.freemoe.org Some are under sources (?!) but not all.
