Debian Repository

We provides a Debian repository with backports of some useful packages. It is hosted on apt.glanet.org. This repository provides packages only for Wheezy (Debian 7).

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.

deb http://apt.glanet.org/debian wheezy-glanet main
deb-src http://apt.glanet.org/debian wheezy-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 the wheezy-glanet target to provide packages for Wheezy. With the default behavior of APT they will be ignored unless it is told to use the given target. For example, to install the Quagga package which is available in the repository, the following command must be used:

apt-get -t wheezy-glanet install quagga

It is also possible to upgrade the package if it is already installed with a similar command:

apt-get -t wheezy-glanet upgrade quagga

Note that you can also download the source for a given package with:

apt-get -t wheezy-glanet source quagga
