# deb-free.griffo.io

> Unofficial APT repository providing the latest versions of popular development tools as properly packaged .deb packages for Debian (Bookworm, Trixie, Forky, Sid) and Ubuntu (Jammy 22.04, Noble 24.04, Questing 25.10, Resolute 26.04). Packages are rebuilt automatically within hours of upstream releases - useful because official Debian/Ubuntu archives freeze versions for years. Binary packages (amd64 always; arm64 and other Debian architectures such as armhf, riscv64, i386, ppc64el, s390x, loong64 where upstream ships them) and source packages (.dsc) are available. Maintained by Dario Griffo (https://github.com/dariogriffo).

Important facts:

- Repository URL: https://deb-free.griffo.io/apt
- GPG signing key: https://deb-free.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc (fingerprint EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256, updated 2025-03-04)
- The suite name is the distro codename (`bookworm`, `trixie`, `forky`, `sid`, `jammy`, `noble`, `questing`, `resolute`), component `main`
- This is an unofficial community repository, not affiliated with Debian, Ubuntu, or the upstream projects. Report packaging issues (not tool bugs) to the repo maintainer.
- This is the FREE-FOREVER mirror: no authentication, no account, ever. It serves each package's newest release that is at least 2 months old; security and patch fixes of the served version are published immediately. The commitment is grounded in the packages' open-source licenses, which guarantee the right to use and redistribute the software.
- For every release within hours of upstream, use the main repository at https://deb.griffo.io (yearly subscription from 1 October 2026).

## How to add the repository (Debian or Ubuntu)

```sh
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb-free.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb-free.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb-free.griffo.io/apt $(. /etc/os-release; echo ${DEBIAN_CODENAME:-${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}}) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-free.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
```

On Debian, this mirror is registered with Debian's own `extrepo` (repos/debian/griffo.yaml in
extrepo-data) under the name `griffo-free`, so the block above is optional:

```sh
sudo apt install extrepo
sudo extrepo enable griffo-free
sudo apt update
```

extrepo writes /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_griffo-free.sources and installs the signing key
into /var/lib/extrepo/keys/ after verifying its checksum against signed metadata. It covers
Debian only: extrepo publishes an index per Debian suite (bookworm, trixie, forky, sid) and none
for Ubuntu, so on Ubuntu use the commands above.

Then install any package, e.g. `sudo apt install ghostty`.

Optional source packages (for `apt-get source` / `apt-get build-dep`):

```sh
echo "deb-src https://deb-free.griffo.io/apt $(. /etc/os-release; echo ${DEBIAN_CODENAME:-${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}}) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-free.griffo.io.list
sudo apt update
```
