Sparky repositories of the testing line

Users of Debian “testing” branch should add Sparky testing repository to get access to Sparky repos.

Repository

Sparky testing repository:

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

and past into the file:

 deb https://sparkylinux.org/repo testing main
 deb-src https://sparkylinux.org/repo testing main

Sparky unstable repository (optional):

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

and past into the file:

 deb https://sparkylinux.org/repo unstable main
 deb-src https://sparkylinux.org/repo unstable main

Create a preference file:

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

and past into the file:

 Package: *
 Pin: release o=SparkyLinux,a=stable
 Pin-Priority: -10
 
 Package: *
 Pin: release o=SparkyLinux,a=testing
 Pin-Priority: 1001

Otherwise, install 'sparky-apt' 5.x package to do so.

Public key

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

https://sparkylinux.org/repo/pool/main/s/sparky-keyring/

Then install it:

 sudo dpkg -i /path/to/sparky-keyring_VERSION_all.deb
 sudo apt-get update

or get the key manually ('wget2' has to be installed):

 wget2 -O - https://sparkylinux.org/repo/sparkylinux.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
