Waveboxapp: Linux repository for betas

[Cris70]

I am in the beta channel, so I get a warning message everytime a new beta of Wavebox is out.
However, since I choose to use the repository to keep my Wavebox up to date, I only get an update when a new stable version is out.
Is there a repository that includes beta releases?
I am on linux openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Thank you in advance.

There are some instructions on the wavebox website if you check:

https://wavebox.io/kb/beta-channel

Go further down the page and there are some instructions on the beta channel using repos. Please check there and see if that helps to get you going with testing the beta channel.

To give you some quick reference:

Linux: Installed via yum repository
Add the archive Key
sudo rpm --import https://wavebox.io/dl/client/repo_beta/archive.key

Edit your repo sources in /etc/yum.repos.d/
2.1 Remove wavebox.repo
2.2 Add the beta repo sudo wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ https://wavebox.io/dl/client/repo_beta/yum/wavebox_beta.repo

Update and Install Wavebox
yum install Wavebox

Thank you @nmat, this is great news!

I hope it worked for you :)

[Cris70]

Yes, thank you!!
I just had to slightly adapt the instructions to work with zypper.

[nmat]

could you share what else you needed to do?

its always good to know if the instructions needs some more information :)

[Cris70]

Sure. With respect to the instructions given in https://wavebox.io/kb/beta-channel, at the "Linux: Installed via yum repository" paragraph, I had to make these changes:
2 Edit your repo sources in /etc/yum.repos.d/ /etc/zypp/repos.d
2.1 _(no change)_
2.2 Add the beta repo: sudo wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d/ /etc/zypp/repos.d/ https://wavebox.io/dl/client/repo_beta/yum/wavebox_beta.repo
3 Update and Install Wavebox: yum install Wavebox sudo zypper in Wavebox

Also, steps 2 and 2.1 could be achieved with
sudo zypper rr wavebox
provided the repository is called 'wavebox' (which is true if installed using the instructions given here for zypper).

@Cris70 thanks for the feedback on that! I've added a separate Zypper section to the KB article with some updated instructions
