 Linda | To use the APT sources manually, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list (most likely that path on Debian) should be:
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-archive-keyring.gpg] https://matrix.org/packages/debian/ stable main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/matrix-archive-keyring.gpg] https://matrix.org/packages/debian/ stable main

 shirish | 👍 | 14:40:20 |
| Linda | Reminding I'll add the code to configure /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix-org.list to the actual release | 14:40:52 |
| Linda | in few hours | 14:40:57 |
| shirish | why does the matrix-archive-keyring has the date 2015.12.09 ? | 14:41:16 |
| Linda | Also, obviously replace stable by your distribution's version: lsb_release -cs | 14:41:22 |
| Linda | shirish: It's the date of the repo-key.asc published on matrix.org. It's also a 3.0 (native) format package, so the version number has to be like that. | 14:41:56 |
| Linda | Debian changes are versioned with +debian# (0.x being an UNRELEASED package) and timestamped in debian/changelog. | 14:43:30 |
| Linda | Redacted or Malformed Event | 14:44:48 |
| Linda | Also a fair warning: It removes "bad keys" from /etc/apt/trusted.gpg{,.d} (or whatever is configured in apt-config), and should also notify if it did that.
If you remove this keyring package and still use matrix-org.list, you may have a broken APT data source configuration. | 14:45:32 |
| Linda | This will be also fixed in the +debian1 release. | 14:46:10 |
| Linda | There's an additional question about APT if you use dpkg-reconfigure -plow matrix-archive-keyring, but you probably don't want it (hence why it's not asked by default) | 14:51:37 |
| shirish | Linda: I am guessing you will be uploading the documentation for the same at https://wiki.debian.org/Matrix in few hours. | 14:54:40 |
| shirish | will be downloading and testing it once you have uploaded there. | 14:54:55 |
| Linda | I'm not actually a Debian Developer (DD), hoping andrewsh can sponsor +debian1 release. | 14:55:21 |
| shirish | ah ok. | 14:55:43 |
| Linda | ITP is at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=922155 | 14:55:47 |
| shirish | I am currently using $ apt-cache policy riot-web
riot-web:
Installed: 0.17.9
Candidate: 0.17.9
Version table:
*** 0.17.9 500
500 https://riot.im/packages/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | 14:55:50 |
| Linda | I don't have plans to support Riot.im with this +debian1 release, yet at least. | 14:56:24 |
| Linda | May be a seperate package. | 14:56:36 |
| shirish | I understand that, there may be lot of plumbing involved. | 14:57:06 |
| shirish | i.e splitting of packages and sharing of libraries etc. | 14:57:24 |
| shirish | so we have depends and build-depends instead of having something like this - | 14:58:49 |
| shirish | /var/cache/apt/archives$ ls -lh riot-web_0.17.9_amd64.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60M Jan 22 19:58 riot-web_0.17.9_amd64.deb | 14:59:22 |
| Linda | It could be just a multiselect question in debconf(1) where you choose:
Select supplemental APT data sources:
[ ] Matrix.org
[ ] Riot.im
but I thought it may be out of scope to include Riot.im at this time. wishlist priority bugs can be reported. | 14:59:34 |
| shirish | I absolutely agree with you. I am just a plain user :) | 15:00:14 |
| shirish | just saw that the package would possibly be in contrib. | 15:01:56 |
| Linda | Matrix.org marks its packages as contrib and nothing depends on pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring, so I don't see why matrix-archive-keyring package couldn't be in Debian's main archive.
Still, I've marked it as contrib in in +debian0.2. | 15:03:29 |
| shirish | maybe that's something that should be asked of matrix upstream . | 15:18:53 |
| shirish | I was unable to find anything on debian/contrib in the wiki but it's there in the debian-reference | 15:22:26 |
