Instructions

Using Dotdeb is very simple:

1. Add the main repository to your sources.list

Depending on your distribution (Jessie or Wheezy), add these two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all

or

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy all

2. Options

If you want to install :

  • Nginx with “full” HTTP2 support (with ALPN negotiation) on Debian 8 “Jessie”, activate the jessie-backports repository, install OpenSSL 1.0.0 (apt-get install -t jessie-backports libssl1.0.0) and add these two lines too : 
    deb http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie-nginx-http2 all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie-nginx-http2 all
  • PHP 5.6 on Debian 7 “Wheezy” (without Zend thread safety), add these two lines too : 
    deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all
  • PHP 5.6 on Debian 7 “Wheezy” (with Zend thread safety), add these two lines instead : 
    deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56-zts all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56-zts all
  • PHP 5.5 on Debian 7 “Wheezy”, add these two lines too : 
    deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php55 all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php55 all

3. Fetch and install the GnuPG key

wget http://localhost:8080/dotdeb.gpg
sudo apt-key add dotdeb.gpg

4. Enjoy

Run apt-get update. You should now be able to install the Dotdeb packages you want with apt-get (or dselect, or aptitude as well…)
