While everyone is coding away on trunk (there are lots of changes!) there was no new announcement for quite some time now. Time to change that!

As you might know, Unknown Horizons had one Repository to facilate install of releases and even regular snapshots on Debian and Debian based systems. However differences in the set of available packages made this practically unuseable on Ubuntu Jaunty so the decision was taken to split things a bit.

After no activity for some time I"m happy to announce the availablility of the Unknown Horizons Package Archive today. Currently it supports the last 2 Ubuntu releases as well as Debian stable, testing and unstable for x86 and arm CPUs (64bit support is basically available but I can"t build packages here right now so no content in there yet).

I"m still using the same key for signing the archive, you can get it from packages.unknown-horizons.org/key. If you"re serious about security you can find a statement including a copy of the key in key-statement.asc which is signed with my key (0xD49AE731), which has a bit of WoT integration

There"s, of course, space for non-Debian systems there as well so maybe we can get snapshots for other systems there as well some time, it only needs someone to maintain it.

If you are interested in helping out or need support for any of this, contact us in IRC or use the Bugtracker or Forum.

With the availability of packages.unknown-horizons.org the old deb.unknown-horizons.org is considered deprecated and will be removed as soon as there"s a release in packages which will happen the next time Unknown Horizons releases.
