We provide a Debian repository with backports of some useful packages. It is hosted on apt.glanet.org. This repository provides packages for Wheezy (Debian 7) and Jessie (Debian 8).
All the packages are signed with a downloadable GPG key. To add the key to the APT package manager the following command can be used:
wget -O - http://apt.glanet.org/apt-glanet.gpg.key | apt-key add -
The following lines can be added to the /etc/apt/sources.list file or in any files in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. Make sure to use the proper target according to your Debian version.
For Debian 7 (aka Wheezy):
deb http://apt.glanet.org/debian wheezy-glanet main deb-src http://apt.glanet.org/debian wheezy-glanet main
For Debian 8 (aka Jessie):
deb http://apt.glanet.org/debian jessie-glanet main deb-src http://apt.glanet.org/debian jessie-glanet main
After modifying the list of repositories to use, APT needs to update the list of the packages (update action of the APT tool).
The repository uses specific targets to provide packages. With the default behavior of APT they will be ignored unless it is told to use the given target. For example, to install the ExaBGP package which is available in the repository, the following command must be used:
apt -t jessie-glanet install exabgp
It is also possible to upgrade the package if it is already installed with a similar command:
apt -t jessie-glanet upgrade exabgp
Note that you can also download the source for a given package with:
apt-get -t jessie-glanet source exabgp
