β‘ Quick Installation
Add this repository to your Debian or Ubuntu system and start installing the latest versions of your favorite development tools:
Step 1: Add Repository
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://debian.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/debian.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/debian.griffo.io.gpg] https://debian.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://debian.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/debian.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/debian.griffo.io.gpg] https://debian.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update
Step 2: Install Packages

Optional: Enable Source Packages
Add the deb-src line to your sources list if you want to download and build packages from source using apt-get source.
echo "deb-src https://debian.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.griffo.io.list
sudo apt update
echo "deb-src https://debian.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.griffo.io.list

Important Notice: Public key was updated on March 4th, 2025. Please run the installation commands above to update your system with the new key.
π Browse the Package Pool
You can browse the package pool directly at https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/. This lets you explore available distributions, components, and individual package files without needing to add the repository first.
Directory Structure
The repository follows the standard Debian repository layout:
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/ β distribution index
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/bookworm/ β Debian Bookworm (12)
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/bookworm/main/binary-amd64/Packages β binary index
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/bookworm/main/source/Sources β source index
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/trixie/ β Debian Trixie (13)
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/forky/ β Debian Forky (testing)
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/sid/ β Debian Sid (unstable)
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/jammy/ β Ubuntu Jammy (22.04 LTS)
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/noble/ β Ubuntu Noble (24.04 LTS)
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/questing/ β Ubuntu Questing (25.04)
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/resolute/ β Ubuntu Resolute (25.10)
Search Packages After Adding the Repository
Once the repository is added, you can use standard apt tools to explore available packages:
# List all packages provided by this repository
apt-cache search --names-only '' | grep -v '^lib'
# Show details for a specific package
apt-cache show zig
# Check which version will be installed and from which source
apt-cache policy zig
π¦ Source Packages
In addition to binary .deb packages, this repository also provides Debian source packages for all supported tools. Source packages let you inspect the packaging, rebuild binaries locally, or apply custom patches β all using standard Debian tooling.
A source package consists of three files:
.dscβ description file with checksums and metadata.orig.tar.gzβ unmodified upstream source tarball.debian.tar.xzβ Debian-specific packaging overlay (debian/directory)
Step 1: Enable Source Packages
If you haven't already, add the deb-src line (see Quick Installation above). Then update:
echo "deb-src https://debian.griffo.io/apt $(lsb_release -sc 2>/dev/null) main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.griffo.io.list
sudo apt update
Step 2: Download a Source Package
# Download source for a package (creates a directory in the current folder)
apt-get source zig
# Or download without unpacking β just the raw .dsc + tarballs
apt-get source --download-only zig
Step 3: Build from Source
# Enter the unpacked source directory (version number will vary)
cd zig-stable-0.14.0
# Build a binary .deb without signing (suitable for local use)
dpkg-buildpackage -b --no-sign
# The resulting .deb appears one level up
ls ../zig-stable_*.deb
Alternative: Build Dependencies Only
# Install all build dependencies for a package automatically
sudo apt-get build-dep zig
# Then build with dpkg-buildpackage or debuild
debuild -b --no-sign
Browse Source Packages Directly
Source package index files are published alongside the binary package indexes:
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/bookworm/main/source/Sources
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/trixie/main/source/Sources
https://debian.griffo.io/apt/dists/noble/main/source/Sources
