Keepassxc: Provide Ubuntu/Debian/PPA Repository

Created on 25 Oct 2017 · 11Comments · Source: keepassxreboot/keepassxc

Please, provide KeepassXC in the Ubuntu repository, or Debian repository, or at least through a PPA on Launchpad. This flavor of Keepass is the only one to be native app and often up to date release for Linux.

There are unofficial .deb package and an unofficial PPA.

We are testing our official PPA that will be available soon

For Ubuntu/Debian repository, it's up to them.

A package has been submitted to Debian, but seems to be in review still.
As @TheZ3ro said, we are building a PPA right now. You can already try it if you want: https://launchpad.net/~phoerious/+archive/ubuntu/keepassxc
Note that right now YubiKey does not work on Trusty.

@phoerious I see that a reference about the official PPA has already been added on the website of the project, does that mean that the PPA is now ready? I'm asking because I'd like to reference it as the currently recommended way of installing KeePassXC for Ubuntu on my README.

I also want to express my appreciation for this PPA. While yes, there is a .deb for Ubuntu, and yes, one can subscribe to email updates to receive notifications when it is updated, that's really quite inconvenient and backward; whereas an apt-get update etc. script runs on my box as a cron job. So this is really wonderful for me, and I strongly suspect it's a boon for a great many others as well. Thank you very much.
