README.ubuntu problems

I am new to XBMC development and had the package compiling and running a month ago. I decided to start a new fresh development cycle on Ubuntu and have been following the README.ubuntu and having all kinds of problems now.

First in section 3.2 where it says
You can get all build dependencies used for building the packages on the PPA. For this, you
need to specify the PPA in your apt sources. Please find the documentation on how to add a
PPA to your system here:

http://launchpad.net/+help/soyuz/ppa-sources-list.html

Has anyone gone to that url? Its a page not found?

Next in section 3.1 (I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), I do all commands that are <= 12.04 correct? (from the xbmc directory off of $HOME)
For Ubuntu (all versions >= 7.04): (I do this command)
For >= 10.10: (I do this one)
For >= 12.10 (NOT this one)
For <= 12.04 (this one to "build taglib)

Correct?

if I do all of that and then

sudo apt-get update
.
.
.
Reading package lists... Done
dkardell@ubuntu:~/xbmc$

which is correct,

However if I do the following (which used to work)

dkardell@ubuntu:~/xbmc$ sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Build-Depends dependency for xbmc cannot be satisfied because the package libtag1x8 cannot be found
dkardell@ubuntu:~/xbmc$

Thoughts?

hehe, this READMe really needs some cleanup

this should do:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-ppa-build-depends
sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc

Thanks.. after that.. this is what I got. Thoughts?
dkardell@ubuntu:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-ppa-build-depends

Thank you!!!! I'm in the process of the "make" now as we speak. I will try and "rewrite" the readme with all of your updates. Thanks again!

That would be valuable input Thanks

Thanks Kibje, I now have it compiled. I will update the steps from a new install of Ubuntu to a built version of XBMC.
