How to add PPA in kali!!!!!!!

Steps to do this.

Download file
$ wget http://www.mediafire.com/download/65...ository.sh.txt

2. Save this file in /usr/sbin/

$ cp /root/Downloads/add-apt-repository.sh.txt /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository

3. Change permissions to execute

$ chmod o+x /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository

4. Change ownership to root

$chown root:root /usr/sbin/add-apt-repository

5. Now when ever you need to execute command type

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa: ppa - name



Disclaimer: I know adding ppa can have adverse effects on debian machines

Opening this script to larger audience so that we can crowdsource efforts if someone likes it.

hi:)
thanks to share!!!! &

i make a test in my [vm kali-test-64bit] with another method(i don't know if is it correct...but WORKED!!!!
FOR-EXAMPLE: i've install skype(64bit) 4.xx FROM PPA in this method:

root@KALI:~#apt-get install python-software-properties -y
root@KALI:~#echo -e "DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu\nDISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04\nDISTRIB _CODENAME=precise\nDISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04 LTS"" >> /etc/lsb-release
root@KALI:~#add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/chat #####press ENTER to add ...when are asked####
root@KALI:~#apt-get update
root@KALI:~#apt-get install skype

&&& my kali-test64bit have skype!
bye :)

there is anyone who try this or just do it?

it works 100%..i have test it by my self!!!without any error!!!thks zimarro for your comment!!! :D

Can someone explain why we have to write on lsb-release file that kali distro is an ubuntu one. This does not seems proper at all. And quering with lsb-release -a seems also to give misleading info that would file bugs on the wrong site if that would be use by devs.
Those are bugs.
