A preliminary version of the next maintenance release - known as "preliminary stable builds" - is available for testing or routine use. Packages are only available for Debian / Devuan, Ubuntu and Raspbian.

The preliminary stable builds packages are hosted in a regular apt repository (alternative apt source), so you'll be able to get updates regularly

Installing Preliminary Stable Builds

To use the preliminary stable builds you need to add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Please replace all references to <your-distribution> with your lowercase appropriate version: e.g "wheezy" or "vivid".

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb <your-distribution> deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb <your-distribution> deps-r14 main-r14

Example for Ubuntu, 14.04 - Trusty:

# Trinity preliminary stable builds
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14

Packages are signed using GPG key ID A04BE668. To install the GPG key you can use any public GPG keyserver, for example:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key A04BE668

Another option to install GPG key is to manually download and install package axis-archive-keyring. The advantage is that this method of installation is not dependent on the availability of the key server. Another advantage is that the key is not integrated into the global apt keyring, but is installed as a separate file:

wget http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb/pool/main-r14/a/axis-archive-keyring/axis-archive-keyring_2014.06.21.a_all.deb
dpkg -i axis-archive-keyring_2014.06.21.a_all.deb

Note: In new Debian Stretch installations the dirmngr package, which is necessary for gnupg, may be missing. To make the apt-key work properly, install the dirmngr package first.
