Description

I am trying to get a library dependence installed that requires apt to be pointed to an alternative repository as described here:

# Add the Ubuntu GIS PPA
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa

# Install the packages
sudo apt-get install geos

Is there any way to set this up in the libraries section?

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the reusable workflow's libraries section and compare its package-install behavior with the linked libgeos Ubuntu instructions. Done means a workflow can add the Ubuntu GIS PPA and install geos through that configuration, with the supported setup documented or demonstrated.
