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. Alternatively you may create a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bitlbee.list.

Since these are binary packages they may not be usable for you if you're using a less common platform. However, 32-/64-bit Intel and ARM platforms are supported.

The line you need to add might look something like this for a 32-bits system:

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

And for a 64-bit version:

deb http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/devel/squeeze/amd64/ ./

Or if you're using an ARM-based machine:

deb http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/devel/squeeze/armel/ ./

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. You can check if you need 32 or 64-bits using the uname -m command.

After adding the repository and the GPG key (see below) do sudo apt-get update and then install with sudo apt-get install bitlbee (aptitude may be used instead of apt-get).

Builds are currently available for:

  • Debian Lenny (5.0) (not for ARM)

  • Debian Squeeze (6.0)

  • Debian Wheezy (testing)

  • Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10) (not for ARM)

  • Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04 LTS)

  • Ubuntu Mavrick Meercat (10.10) (not for ARM)

  • Ubuntu Natty Narwhal (11.04) (not for ARM)

  • Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot (11.10)

For the GPG key, copy-paste the following into your terminal

sudo apt-key add - << EOF

error in Version string '1:bzr-devel-773-0': version number does not start with digit

If you get an error message like that, dpkg is complaining about what version numbers for nightly builds used to look like. This problem is solved in the repository but you may have to manually install the right version once to get back on track using something like apt-get install bitlbee=VERSION
