Unofficial Precompiled Packages

These are unofficial packages that are not maintained by the official mechanisms of the upstream distribution; we are trying to get more recent versions of Bcfg2 into distributions, but often you will need to use one of these.

Unofficial Debian Repository

Until a better alternative is found, these are built manually and made available via ​http://debian.bcfg2.org for Debian GNU/Linux and gNewSense 3 and later.

After making the appropriate one of the below your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bcfg2.list file, do:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys AA95C349
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install bcfg2

And if you also want the server:

sudo aptitude install bcfg2-server

Stable Releases

We will strive to only have stable, working releases that have gone through testing in these repositories.

Debian Lenny / gNewSense 3

# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bcfg2.list
# sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys AA95C349
deb http://debian.bcfg2.org lenny stable
deb-src http://debian.bcfg2.org lenny stable

Testing releases

These releases are volitile and may sometimes be broken. You shouldn't automatically update production systems against them.

Debian Lenny / gNewSense 3

# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bcfg2.list
# sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys AA95C349
deb http://debian.bcfg2.org lenny testing
deb-src http://debian.bcfg2.org lenny testing

Ubuntu Launchpad Bcfg2 PPA

Ubuntu, Trisquel and gNewSense 2 and earlier packages are made by the ​Bcfg2 in Launchpad team.

After making the appropriate one of the below your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bcfg2.list file, do:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 98932BEC
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install bcfg2

And if you also want the server:

sudo aptitude install bcfg2-server
