As the instructions they gave changed, the method to get the initial "Release" file also changed. The new file is at: <https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release> This then points to a Packages file at: <https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/dists/trusty/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages> This in turn points to the new location of the (hopefully) same .deb archive, at: <https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/pool/non-free/r/runescape-launcher/runescape-launcher_2.2.2_amd64.deb> To construct these URLs, I took the line given for the configuration of apt, which is: deb https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/ trusty non-free Starting with the URL given (<https://content.runescape.com/downloads/ubuntu/>), add <dists/{dist}/Release> (in this case <dists/trusty/Release>) to get the Release file. The Release file points to Packages files located in subdirectories of the directory containing Release; the appropriate file would be under <{component}/binary-{arch}> (so <non-free/binary-amd64>). Each Packages file then lists the metadata for each version of each package that is currently available as part of that dist/component/arch, all of which reside under <pool/{component}> under the main URL. The actual directory structure is always <pool/{component}/{first-letter-of-src-pkg}/{src-pkg}/{binary-pkg}_{version}_{arch}.deb>, unless {src-pkg} begins with the letters "lib", in which case it uses a subdirectory named after the first four characters in {src-pkg} instead. For a more complete view of how the repository is structured, you may want to browse http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ or http://archive.ubuntu.org/ubuntu/, which are the roots of Debian and Ubuntu's repositories, respectively. Note that in some cases, the Packages files are only available compressed (as Packages.gz or Packages.bz2). -- Jonathan Callen
