Dotdeb packages are now signed!

Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:35:51 +0000

After many requests from several users and after many months of promise, the Dotdeb repositories are GPG-signed. Yes, you can now get rid of the annoying " WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!" message!

Waiting for a dotdeb-keyring package, you just have to get the key and add it to your trusted keys’ keyring :

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 89DF5277
gpg -a --export 89DF5277 | sudo apt-key add -

I hope you’ll enjoy it.

On the previous week-end, Dotdeb’s website went down due to configuation problems. Sorry for that, it is now fixed.

ClamAV removed from Dotdeb

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:50:36 +0000

FYI, ClamAV has been removed from Dotdeb, since it is more actively maintained on Debian Volatile.

Volatile is now part of the Debian project and will be activated by default on Debian Lenny. Its goal is to provide up-to-date packages of some specific pieces of software (ClamAV, Spamassassin for example). Please use it instead of Dotdeb for your mail-filtering packages.

Mirroring Dotdeb

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:36:35 +0000

If Dotdeb is useful for you and if you want to mirror it, just add a cron job to periodically fetch the packages :

rsync -a --delete rsync.dotdeb.org::packages/ /your/local/path/

Then, if you wish your mirror to appear on the mirrors list, send me its full URL.

Note 1 : mirroring once a day should be enough. More frequent updates could lead to a ban without any warning. Note 2 : Using anything else than Rsync (Wget, HTTrack…) could lead to a ban without any warning.
