herdr 0.8.0-1~sid for sid
(updated 2026-08-17) — architectures: amd64, arm64. This page is regenerated automatically from the
repository metadata, so the version above is exactly what apt install herdr gives you today.
Debian Sid is Debian's rolling development branch. herdr is not shipped at its latest version by the official Debian archives,
so this repository builds current upstream releases as native .deb packages targeted
specifically at sid, with dependencies matching what Debian Sid actually ships.
And then it keeps doing it. Every new upstream release is packaged and published
here within hours, so herdr updates arrive the same way your system updates do — through
apt upgrade, unattended-upgrades, or whatever already runs on your machine. No release
page to watch, no version to compare, no dpkg -i to remember.

Step 1: Add the deb.griffo.io repository
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt sid main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt updateinstall -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt sid main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt updateThe sources line above pins the sid suite explicitly, so it keeps working
in containers and images where lsb_release is unavailable.
