Personal apt repository

Configuration

The following architectures are available: amd64, i386, arm64, and armhf.

These releases of Debian are currently supported:

Note that unstable/sid is a convenience symlink to testing. You will get a W: Conflicting distribution from apt, but it will work fine.

To add this repository to your system, run these commands as root:

wget https://apt.benthetechguy.net/benthetechguy-archive-keyring.gpg -O /usr/share/keyrings/benthetechguy-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/benthetechguy-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.benthetechguy.net/debian bookworm main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/benthetechguy.list
apt update

Hint: Remember to replace bookworm with the release of Debian you're using, and remove contrib non-free if you only want free software packages.
