Here's what I wrote, almost 9y ago:

After seven years of maintaining PPA with custom packages for Debian, I now decided to finally drop and close it. I no longer use Debian as my main Linux distribution hence I have no need nor interest in providing any builds for it.

I kept building packages, though, and I still have some stuff lying around in my Personal Package Archives for Ubuntu. Times have changed and not too long ago I, once again, maintain a few Debian boxes. I was finding myself in an increasing need of having some custom packages—either backporting newer versions or patching here and there. Eventually it was getting tedious and harder without central point for all of them, so I gave in and decided to spin up a new repository.

Debian PPA - 134340
134340Hadret

The main point, at the moment, is to provide newer or custom (i.e. otherwise unavailable) packages to current Debian stable (bookworm). There are a few packages for testing (trixie) and unstable (sid), but usually I'm backporting stuff from them, not to them.

Instructions for setting up the repository are available on the linked website, but it's nothing unexpected:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/134340-archive-keyring.pgp] https://deb.134340.cc/debian bookworm main

GPG key can be obtained with curl:

curl -fsSL -o /usr/share/keyrings/134340-archive-keyring.pgp https://deb.134340.cc/debian/keyring.pgp

DPPA is powered by the awesome aptly. I'm planning to write more about the entire setup (and my helper scripts) in the future post, so stay tuned!
