pearOS apt importer

Adds the pearOS apt repository (apt.pearos.xyz) to your system and imports its signing key (pearos-archive-keyring, fingerprint 0AB2 738C EF7E DC6B 7B45 178D 4C1A 9F3C 131A CA95).

Usage

sudo ./pearos-apt-setup.sh [--channel <channel>] [--release <release>]

Defaults to --channel main --release latest. Architecture (x86_64 / aarch64) is auto-detected from dpkg --print-architecture; there's no flag for it.

sudo ./pearos-apt-setup.sh                                   # main/latest
sudo ./pearos-apt-setup.sh --channel testing --release pahoe

Running it writes /etc/apt/keyrings/pearos-archive-keyring.gpg and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pearos.list, then runs apt-get update. After that:

sudo apt install pearos-magiclamp

Repo layout

The repo is arranged <arch>/<channel>/<release>/, one flat apt suite per directory (deb [signed-by=...] https://apt.pearos.xyz/<arch>/<channel>/<release> ./).

Architectures

dpkg --print-architecture	Repo dir
amd64	x86_64
arm64	aarch64

Auto-detected by the script - no flag for it. Any other architecture is rejected (pearOS doesn't build for it).

Channels

Channel	Description
main	Stable packages (default)
testing	Pre-release / testing packages

Releases

Release
latest (default)
pahoe
monterey
catalina
mojave
big-sur
leopard
sierra
high-sierra

Any --channel/--release combination above is a valid apt source to point at - only the directory needs to actually contain packages for apt install to find anything there. Right now that's just x86_64/main/latest/ (pearos-magiclamp); the rest of the tree exists but is still empty.
