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. 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§ion=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.
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
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.
Ty, I could double bookmark your thread if possible
At last:
Added cherokee 1.2.99 with frontline cache (backported from sid).
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!
Added ioping
Updated cherokee to 1.2.101 (backported from sid)
