Daily built packages

Bitlbee offers daily builds for debian like linux distros. They are located at http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/. The most common way of adding the BitlBee repository, is by adding it to your sources.list file, located at /etc/apt/sources.list.

The line you need to add might look something like this:

deb http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/devel/karmic/i386/ ./

The devel subdirectory means that it is the main development branch of bitlbee. The karmic subdirectory means that it is intended for the Karmic Koala release of Ubuntu and the i386 subdirectory means that it is intended for an i386 (32 bit) version of the operating system.

Builds are currently available for:

• Debian Lenny (5.0)
• Debian Squeeze (6.0) (testing)
• Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04 LTS)
• Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10)
• Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04 LTS)
• Ubuntu Mavrick Meercat (10.10)
