Downloads

Apt Repository

There is an Apt repository for the architectures amd64 and i386. It is signed using the key Raphael Cohn (Package Signing Key) <[email protected]> with fingerprint BFEEA2E71B9C4AF0. It contains Contents- files suitable for apt-file. It is suitable for:-

  • Debian
    • Squeeze LTS (Debian 6)
    • Wheezy (Debian 7)
  • Ubuntu Server
    • Lucid Lynx (Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS)
    • Precise Pangolin (Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS)
    • Trusty Tahr (Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS)

These releases should also work on Ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu non-LTS releases, remixes (eg Xubuntu) and Linux Mint, but this is not tested for.

To make it easy to use our repository, you can use our install.sh:-

sh -c "$(wget --no-verbose --output-document - 'https://raphaelcohn.github.io/bish-bosh/download/apt/dists/bish-bosh/install.sh')"

This script pauses if run interactively. It then asks for permission with sudo for every step. The older versions of wget in Debian 6 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS require the additional option --no-check-certificate to work around a bug in their certificate validation logic:-*

sh -c "$(wget --no-check-certificate --no-verbose --output-document - 'https://raphaelcohn.github.io/bish-bosh/download/apt/dists/bish-bosh/install.sh')"

If you don't want to use our install script, then you can repeat the steps it takes below:-

  • Import our key Raphael Cohn (Package Signing Key) <[email protected]> with fingerprint BFEEA2E71B9C4AF0. You can do this using apt-key add.
  • Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/00bish-bosh.sources.list and add deb https://raphaelcohn.github.io/bish-bosh/download/apt bish-bosh multiverse to it.
  • Install the apt-transport-https package using sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https (typically needed on Debian installs; sudo apt-get update may be needed first).
  • Update the Apt sources using sudo apt-get update

* These versions do not seem to use the subjectAltName field.

Yum Repository

There is a Yum repository. It is multi-architecture. Packages and the repomd.xml file are signed using the key Raphael Cohn (Package Signing Key) <[email protected]> with fingerprint BFEEA2E71B9C4AF0.* It:-

  • is suitable for CentOS 5, 6 and 7.
  • should also work on RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5, 6 and 7
  • and Fedora
  • it may work on SuSE with zypper.

To make it easy to use our repository, you can use our install.sh:-

sh -c "$(curl --fail --silent --show-error --location 'https://raphaelcohn.github.io/bish-bosh/download/yum/bish-bosh/install.sh')"

This script pauses if run interactively. It then asks for permission with sudo for every step. If you are using CentOS 5 or RHEL 5, then you'll need to install python-hashlib before running this install script (this is because we use SHA-256 hashes). You can download it from Seth Vidal's Fedora People Folder.

If you don't want to use our install script, then you can repeat the steps it takes below:-

[bish-bosh]
name=bish-bosh
#baseurl=https://raphaelcohn.github.io/bish-bosh/download/yum/bish-bosh
mirrorlist=https://raphaelcohn.github.io/bish-bosh/download/yum/bish-bosh/mirrorlist
gpgkey=https://raphaelcohn.github.io/bish-bosh/download/yum/bish-bosh/RPM-GPG-KEY-bish-bosh
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
protect=0

Optionally, then:-

  • Update the yum cache using sudo yum makecache
  • See the packages available in this repository using yum info bish-bosh
  • Check your rpm db has all necessary keys with rpm --query gpg-pubkey --queryformat '%{name}-%{version}-%{release} --> %{summary}\n'

At this time, we do not provide a bish-bosh-release RPM as one doesn't offer any advantages over these steps.

* The signature of this file is only checked by SuSE; all RedHat-derived distros are theoretically vulnerable to package-substitution MITM attacks.

Files Archive

In addition to the links to files below, we maintain a separate archive of files of all released, built content.

Files Below

You can also use a file below:-

  • Any labelled 'executable' are standalone executables;
  • Any labelled 'file' are single files;
  • Debian packages are probably not directly installable without adding them to a repository (so use one of ours);
  • Source Code as a ZIP or tarball (Gzip compressed)

Created using swaddle, a shellfire application.
