Debian icon.png Debian

ℹ️  Packages of the latest stable Arx Libertatis version are currently not available for Debian 9 (stretch) are currently not available. Use the development snapshot packages instead.

Arx Libertatis packages for Debian 8 (jessie) and 7 (wheezy) are available in the home:dscharrer project on the openSUSE build service. You can add the repository by appending

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dscharrer/Debian_8.0/ ./

$ wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:dscharrer/Debian_8.0/Release.key
# apt-key add - < Release.key 

Replace Debian_8.0 with Debian_7.0 in both cases if you are still on wheezy.

Then update the package list and install the arx-libertatis package:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install arx-libertatis

The openSUSE build service does not provide a repository for Debian source packages, but you can download the package sources from the ArxPackages git repository.

Development snapshots are available in the home:dscharrer:snapshots project on the openSUSE build service.

Replace Fedora_Rawhide with Fedora_24, Fedora_25 or Fedora_26 as needed.
