A(nother) binary distrib repo for BIRD

July 2, 2022

It looks like CZ-NIC abandoned their OpenSUSE Open Build Service repository (its still sitting at 2.0.8 while upstream is at 2.0.10 now).

So I decided to take this into my hands™️ and made my own Open Build Service Repository because why not. Luckily they still maintain packaging systems (like apkg) and scripts (like make-obs).

Update (2023-03-06): You can use the download instructions at https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Alinuxgemini%3Abird-latest-debian&package=bird2 to install.

If you still want to do it by hand, here are snippets for you to install the OBS repos for your distro (I assume you are the root user):
