Package repositories

Gnoblin publishes signed package repositories. Add one and your package manager installs and updates Gnoblin. The steps are in the install guide for your system. Start at Install Gnoblin.

Channels

Each repository has two channels.

Signing key

Every package and repository is signed. The key is at https://repo.gnoblin.org/gpg.key. Your package manager shows the key and asks you to accept it the first time you use the repository. Check that the fingerprint it shows matches this one:

91BA A379 0941 B9B3 BBA6  3BC4 F1B8 D899 DF3D 786E

If the fingerprints differ, do not accept the key.

Switch channels

To move from stable to nightly, add the nightly repository and update. To move back, remove the nightly repository and install the release again.

• Fedora and openSUSE: you get the highest version from any repository you have enabled. With both channels enabled, that is the nightly build.
• Arch Linux: pacman uses the first repository in /etc/pacman.conf that has the package. Put [gnoblin-nightly] above [gnoblin] to follow the nightly build, or below it to stay on releases.
• Alpine: you get the highest version from any repository in /etc/apk/repositories.

To go back to the release on Fedora:

sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/gnoblin-nightly.repo
sudo dnf --refresh distro-sync gnoblin

On Arch Linux, delete the [gnoblin-nightly] section, then run sudo pacman -Sy and sudo pacman -S gnoblin. On Alpine, delete the nightly line, run apk update, then install the release version, for example apk add gnoblin=VERSION. Run apk policy gnoblin to see the versions.

Remove a repository

Removing a repository does not remove Gnoblin. Remove the packages as the guide for your system describes.

Fedora

sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/gnoblin-stable.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/gnoblin-nightly.repo

openSUSE

sudo zypper removerepo gnoblin-stable

Debian

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnoblin-stable.sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnoblin-nightly.sources /etc/apt/keyrings/gnoblin.asc
sudo apt update

Arch Linux

Delete the [gnoblin] and [gnoblin-nightly] sections from /etc/pacman.conf, then find the Gnoblin key with pacman-key --list-keys and run this with its fingerprint:

sudo pacman-key --delete FINGERPRINT
sudo pacman -Sy

Alpine

Delete the Gnoblin lines from /etc/apk/repositories, then remove the key:

rm /etc/apk/keys/gnoblin.rsa.pub
apk update
