Lenny repository

Hello,
I've put online a lenny repository (amd64/i386). The repository contain these components (components are mainly the avaliable packages, for an easily selection):

aidentd - a fake identd server that reply with a random pokemon name.

cherokee - packages for cherokee 1.2.2 (backported)

dropbear - packages for dropbear: dropbear -0.53 (with fail2ban support), dropbear-scp (the dropbear scp client), gesftpserver (greenend sftpserver, to avoid to install openssh-server), gesftpclient, fail2ban

nginx - nginx 1.0.0 (backported)

php - php 5.3.6 (backported), php5-fpm, php5-suhosin, php5-apc

vzfree - the vzfree binary

Every package is also avaliable in source format, if you don't trust precompiled binaries.

The repository url is: http://apt.balocco.name, and the key is avaliable at http://apt.balocco.name/key.asc

I hope that these can help someone.

Regards.

  • nice, i'm amaze you're giving lenny a chance to prove they are still really nice OS. :D i'm using lenny on my linode btw..

  • Bookmarking your post... n_n

  • Could you make a similar repo for Squeeze ^_^ ? Or I'll have to seriously consider downgrading to Lenny for nginx 1/ dropbear etc.

    Mon5t3r:

    I use lenny on all my vps. :)

    trelawney:

    Actually is rather improbable that I'll install 2 more vm for squeeze because I use squeeze only on my nas, that's an arm, and I don't like it too much.

    But you could use dotdeb (http://www.dotdeb.org/2011/07/21/packages-of-nginx-1-0-5-are-available/ for nginx) for nginx; Is a nice repository that only miss the dropbear with fail2ban support. Initially I use those but the lack of nginx 1.0 for lenny and a few glitch in their php5 packages rouse me to compile (and rewrite some packages) by my own.

  • Update, added a new component:

    dma - dragonfly mail agent 0.3, a very small mta; for more information look here: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=dma&section=8

    Next update will be Cherokee 1.2.98 (or more), with frontline cache (http://www.alobbs.com/1392/Front_Line_Cache.html).

    New home for the repository. And because I've moved and reconfigured something, I've also made some modify:

    I noticed that apt don't like repositories with so many components, so now the repository have only one section: "main". Also I've recompiled all package to give to all the tag same tag; some of them (compiled something like 6m~1y ago) got an update.

    Added znc and update nginx to 1.1.0, gesftpserver to r237 and fail2ban to 0.8.5

    "Full" changelog: http://apt.balocco.name/changelog.txt
    Also if possible to find pkg_list.txt in the root, that's contain the packages list.

  • Added dcron (why nobody ever made a deb package for it?); I'm trying it on my vpses and seems to work well.

    Update gesftpserver/gesftpclient to the latest release; that's isn't a very good news, 'cause I tagged the previous release as 20xx-yy-zz (to reflect the repository last update). The new release have a version number (0.1), so to install it is required to remove the previous and reinstall it.

    Some other minor updates (available in the changelog if someone is interested).

  • Added gatling (backported from sid), if someone wanna try it.

  • Are there not repos already available?

    Not with gatling, gesftpserver, up-to-date cherokee, dcron, dma or aidentd (afaik).
    Also the php5 build on dotdeb throw me some errors on purge, so I rebuild it.

  • Also the php5 build on dotdeb throw me some errors on purge

    I hope you passed them along as a report. :)

    The guy who runs dotdeb seems to have a clue and works hard at what he does.

  • OMG! Interesting! Recently was researching about that gatling webserver :D

    Btw Steve, can you share some tutorial about creating deb packages? I need something because probably I will create some repos and debs for my Social work (I don't know how to translate it to english, sorry, is about academic needs)

    Those will be a decent starting point:

    http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/Basic_Debian_Packaging

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Basic

    http://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian

    However I learned more reading scripts from php5/dropbear package, at least for Lenny.

    Big changes in the nginx package.

    I splitted it into 3 source package: nginx, nginx-stable (1.0.8) and nginx-development (1.1.7).

    The nginx package (that is tagged as version 1.1.7, for an easy upgrade) is divided into:

    1) nginx: metapackage that pull in the new packages.

    2) nginx-common

    3) nginx-doc

    nginx (stable|development) is divided into:

    1) nginx-(stable|development)-full

    2) nginx-(stable|development)-light

    3) nginx-(stable|development)-extra

    Using "apt-get install nginx" will pull in nginx-full that pull in nginx-stable-full.

    If you want to install the development version use "apt-get install nginx nginx-development-(full|light)"

    The upgrade from my previous package should be troubleless. If you don't want to risk: apt-get remove, apt-get install (as usual a tar.gz of /etc/nginx is fast and safe).

  • You are the man!
