On 03/23/2024, the currently used repository key (6D65FE6664
) will expire. For a smooth transition, we have already generated a new key (37C236EB95
) that will be valid until 09/05/2028.
This key confirms the authenticity of the LiveConfig packages at repo.liveconfig.com
. If it is missing or expired, there will be an error message from the package manager during installations and updates.
To simplify installation and updates, we now provide it in a separate package.
The previous installation of the LiveConfig repository by calling apt-key add ...
and downloading the liveconfig.list
file is deprecated and will not be supported in the future. However, we will still provide the necessary files for a limited period of time.
liveconfig-keyring
The new package liveconfig-keyring
contains the current and future key (/usr/share/keyrings/liveconfig-keyring.gpg
), the repository information (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/liveconfig.sources
) and settings to update this package as automatically as possible (/etc/apt/preferences.d/liveconfig.pref
).
The repository information (liveconfig.sources
) is also in the more concise deb822 format.
The latest version of the package is also available at https://www.liveconfig.com/liveconfig-keyring.deb. A first-time installation (to add the repository) thus looks like this:
wget -O /root/liveconfig-keyring.deb https://www.liveconfig.com/liveconfig-keyring.deb
dpkg -i /root/liveconfig-keyring.deb
If you have already activated the LiveConfig repository, you just have to run apt install liveconfig-keyring
. Keys added earlier via apt-key
will be removed cleanly, and liveconfig.list
be updated accordingly.
