To use Linaro's optimized packages and get their sources, firstly you'll need to identify which package(s) you're interested in. Often times teams will have their own PPAs where they will place development versions of optimized packages as they are working on them and/or just before they submit them for inclusion by the main archive.
When you visit a PPA you'll notice there are instructions on how to add that PPA so that when you do an apt-get install it can pull from that PPA. So look at the linaro-maintainers PPA as an example: https://launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/+archive/overlay So if you are interested in the es2gears app All you need to do is either download the debs directory and install via dpkg (ick!) or sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/overlay sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install es2gears and as long as the es2gears deb found in that PPA is newer than what is in the main package archive it will be installed from the PPA. If you want the source you can issue: apt-get source packagename Now for meego, that's a whole different discussion and really you should join say #meego and ask there or on the meego lists tho I will mention in passing that I am currently working on packaging some of Meego up for use in linaro. Hopefully this helps a bit.
