OpenFastTrace is now available from the new Itsallcode APT repository. Debian, Ubuntu, and users of other Debian-based distributions can install it through their normal package-management workflow.

OpenFastTrace 4.9.0 is the first version published there. From now on, we will publish new OFT releases as .deb packages in the repository shortly after their GitHub release.

# Configure the repository

First, install the itsallcode.org signing key and add the APT source:

sudo install --directory --mode=0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl --fail --silent --show-error --location \
  https://apt.itsallcode.org/itsallcode-archive-keyring.asc \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes --output /etc/apt/keyrings/itsallcode-archive-keyring.gpg
echo 'deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/itsallcode-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.itsallcode.org stable main' \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/itsallcode.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update

Before trusting a newly downloaded signing key, compare its fingerprint with the published fingerprint.

# Install OpenFastTrace

Once the repository is configured, install OpenFastTrace with:

sudo apt install openfasttrace

After installation, oft --help shows the available command-line options. For usage and requirement notation, see the OpenFastTrace user guide.

The APT repository project contains the repository documentation and packaging sources.
