I'm running Ubuntu arm 11.10 on my asus eee pad tablet. I would like to have access to all my options.

What PPAs support armel right now?
Or
What third party repos work with ubuntu arm?

I usually like to add webupd8 etc... for x86

The answer is, unforunately, NONE.

That's not to say there may not be third-party repositories offering armel versions, but there are no PPAs, per se.

    No. It seems you may just have to cross-compile on a PC, or leave it running overnight on the eeePad. The latter is actually fairly easy to do for any given PPA package.

launchpad PPA support for armel

According to this launchpad answer...

There are no current plans to make armel generally available but that's not to say it will not happen at some point.

It goes onto say...

There are plans, but no concrete timeline. It's a difficult problem due to the lack of a secure, performant virtualisation solution for ARM devices.

There is a blueprint available - but from the above - no timeframe to implement it as yet.
