===== Sparky Testing Repositories =====

Sparky of the testing ((semi-)rolling) line is based on and uses Debian “testing” packages.

==== Repository ====

Users of Debian "testing" branch should add Sparky **sisters** (testing)  and **core** repositories to get access to Sparky repos:

   sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sparky.list

and paste into the file:

   deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ sisters main
   deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ sisters main
   deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main
   deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key] https://repo.sparkylinux.org/ core main

Create a preference file:

   sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/sparky

and paste into the file:

   Package: *
   Pin: release o=SparkyLinux
   Pin-Priority: 1001

Otherwise, install 'sparky-apt_YYYYMMDD~sparky8' packages to do so.

==== Public key ====

Download the Sparky's Public Key as a "deb" package from:

[[http://us1.repo.sparkylinux.org/pool/main/s/sparky-keyring/|http://us1.repo.sparkylinux.org/pool/main/s/sparky-keyring/]] 

Then install it:
   sudo dpkg -i /path/to/sparky-keyring_VERSION_all.deb

or get the key manually ('wget' has to be installed):

   wget -O - https://repo.sparkylinux.org/sparky.gpg.key | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/sparky.gpg.key
