Debian CVS packages

If you run Debian unstable (sid) you can test our CVS Debian packages. Packages are built for i386 and amd64 architectures only, both for claws-mail and claws-mail-extra-plugins source packages.

Note these are built automatically from Claws Mail CVS' sources and Debian packaging Subversion's sources.

For i386 architecture you have to add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list (second line only if you want source packages):

deb http://www.claws-mail.org/debian/cvs/i386/ ./
deb-src http://www.claws-mail.org/debian/cvs/i386/ ./

For amd64 architecture:

deb http://www.claws-mail.org/debian/cvs/amd64/ ./
deb-src http://www.claws-mail.org/debian/cvs/amd64/ ./

Aditionally you may want to add the key used to sign the packages to your APT keyring to avoid the non-authenticated packages error message. If you have wget you can:

wget -O - http://www.claws-mail.org/debian/cvs/public.key.txt | apt-key add -

These repositories are updated nightly (from 00:00 UTC to 06:00 UTC), so you may experience breakages when updating between these hours.
