In case anyone is wondering why these aren't being re-rolled as "non-experimental" and going onto the main tarsnap website yet: It turns out that depending on the right OpenSSL packages across different versions of Debian and Ubuntu is harder than expected. Once that's sorted out we'll roll another set of experimental packages.
On a related note, it turns out that OpenSSL 1.1 broke things enough that tarsnap doesn't even build with it -- we'll get that fixed soon and release tarsnap 1.0.38 with that and many other less urgent changes. Colin Percival On 12/23/16 03:43, Colin Percival wrote:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Tarsnap users, Experimental Tarsnap .deb binary packages are now available for Debian, Ubuntu, and similar Linux distributions for the amd64 and i386 architectures. You can find installation instructions at https://pkg.tarsnap.com/experimental/ including the Tarsnap experimental debian signing key 0x5CA7AAEF0C8DDADA Assuming no problems show up in the next week, this will become an official channel for getting tarsnap (documented on the main tarsnap website, and with a signing key which doesn't have "EXPERIMENTAL" in its name) in January. Binary packages for RedHat, Fedora, CentOS, and similar Linux distributions will probably come next; I might also provide FreeBSD packages, but I'm not sure there's much point given that the FreeBSD.org pkg repository provides tarsnap packages. Beyond that, I'm not sure what platform would come next; feel free to offer suggestions. - -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHMEARECADMWIQTq9Iu6fMd6MP78Dak4zsppDGpqbgUCWF0N1hUcY3BlcmNpdmFA dGFyc25hcC5jb20ACgkQOM7KaQxqam4hOgCfbq141gz76SQyS9ixQG50OOC7GqAA ni9tYDBPUlkarcapCRQSJniyVbml =uGTL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
