BL stretch-backports repository available

nobody · 2017-10-01 21:45:06

For future use in Helium, current Helium-dev and/or Stretch users, there's now a stretch-backports repository by BunsenLabs where we provide you with mainline builds of selected software packages.

Currently, that's only tint2.

To use the repository, use the following APT sources.list entry:

deb http://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/debian stretch-backports main

Thank you!
I'll restore the bunsen-backports option to bl-welcome for helium-dev.

@nobody When running 'apt-get update', I'm getting a "public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A0673F72FE62D9C5" error, even after adding BunsenLabs-RELEASE.aac with the same key id as above. Also said "The repository ... is not signed".

btw the command substitution shown on the install page failed with "gpg: can't open '/dev/fd/63': No such file or directory".
I downloaded the .asc file, then imported it.

Sorry, I was wrong on two counts:

1) 'gpg --import' is not the right command for adding a key to apt.
I should have run 'apt-key add ...'

2) The command substitution runs fine as root, but fails with 'sudo gpg import...', because the command inside the subshell is not being run as root.

This worked (as root):

#apt-key add <(wget -qO- https://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/BunsenLabs-RELEASE.asc)

and the unsigned error message when updating apt disappears.

Is there a Stretch version of bunsen-keyring available? If so, I'll add it to the helium-dev repo.

You could just bump the release with dch, but because you will be asleep, I'll do it tonight. This should not require code changes, just a rebuild for the helium distro.

John, here you go: https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-ke … helium-dev.

^Thanks! Now built and uploaded to the helium-dev repo.

For now, we can just ask that people who want to use the BL backports should install it.
I'll also add it to the netinstall install list - it's a small package.

That only works with bash

How about:

wget -qO- https://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/BunsenLabs-RELEASE.asc | sudo apt-key add -

True. It wasn't really meant as a piece of documentation, just to confirm that the key was OK. Of course the pipe will work on a wider range of shells. (If anyone wnted to use anything but the wonderful bash. )
