About

This page will hold detailed information on builds for source code, deb packages, and PPA packages. New packages that are built will start to follow the bsos for "Brewmaster SteamOS" to keep names shorter.

Packages last checked for updates: 20151001

Package listings

Please see the distribution lists in the root of the repository pool for a list of packages and which releases they belong to. This is updated each time the pool is synced. Maintaining a separate list was beginning to take too much time. There is a list below that contains packages still sourced by PPA's. Source built package build scripts contain the upsteam source details.

Backports packages

package name release version link Short description
libmbedtls-dev sid 2.3.0 Debian libmbedtls-dev
x265-79 jessie-backports 1.9.3 Debian x265-79

Binary-only packages

These packages have no publicly available source code, or Debian files. There is no choice but to only include the Debian package.

Notes regarding Ubuntu vs. Debian releases

You can find the Debian version on which your Ubuntu version is based in the file: /etc/debian_version. For this reason, some packages will get "upgraded" into the 15.04 equivalent. In making a build script for the Kodi stable PPA, it makes life much, much easier to base off of Vivid.

From 11.10 up to 16.04:

  • 16.04 xenial stretch / sid
  • 15.10 wily jessie / sid
  • 15.04 vivid jessie / sid
  • 14.10 utopic jessie / sid
  • 14.04 trusty jessie / sid
  • 13.10 saucy wheezy / sid
  • 13.04 raring wheezy / sid
  • 12.10 quantal wheezy / sid
  • 12.04 precise wheezy / sid
  • 11.10 oneiric wheezy / sid

Known external deb-src URLs and GPG key strings

Ubuntu packages

Ubuntu packages are not "PPA's" so example deb-src lines are:

Binary-only packages

Spotify

Annotations

  1. While the source code of the main Skype client is available for rebuild, the core package "skype-bin" is not.
  2. GetDeb Instructions for adding public key
  3. Must be built in a 32 bit environment. Git VCS source seems to be protected or not available to non-Debian-maintainers. Sourcing directly from PPA for now.
