*.i2p2.de and *.i2p2.no are temporarily down due to a failed upgrade

[eyedeekay]

Currently the *.i2p2.de and *.i2p2.no mirrors are down, due to a failed upgrade from Ubuntu Bionic to Ubuntu Focal. This has resulted in downtime for the Debian package repositories. I apologize for this inconvenience. For those of you who need to install I2P using a Debian package, it is possible to use the PPA as a source on all Debian-based distributions.

If you're already using the `deb.i2p2.no` or `deb.i2p2.de` repositories and are already using I2P 2.3.0, you do not need to take any further action, your packages are up to date and will resume using the normal repository when it is repaired.

Workaround 1(Recommended): Use a `.jar` installer

If you have Java installed, download the `.jar` installer from another mirror and install it using the command:

Code: Select all

java -jar i2pinstall.jar 

Workaround 2(Experts Only): Use the Ubuntu PPA Instead

For Debian users who want to try I2P using the PPA, use the following instructions.

First, add the key to apt:

Code: Select all

curl 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x474bc46576fae76e97c1a1a1ab9660b9eb2cc88b' | sudo apt-key add -

When using Debian Buster, add the following lines to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/i2p.list`

Code: Select all

deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/i2p-maintainers/i2p/ubuntu bionic main 
deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/i2p-maintainers/i2p/ubuntu bionic main 

When using Debian Stable or Debian Testing, add the following lines to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/i2p.list`

Code: Select all

deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/i2p-maintainers/i2p/ubuntu focal main 
deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/i2p-maintainers/i2p/ubuntu focal main 

When using Debian Sid, add the following lines to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/i2p.list`

Code: Select all

deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/i2p-maintainers/i2p/ubuntu lunar main 
deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/i2p-maintainers/i2p/ubuntu lunar main

The datacenter that was hosting the debian repository has not responded to my emails or phone calls and the services at deb.i2p2.de/no will need to be replaced. A new hostname will be announced when the server is back up. The workarounds listed above will continue to work for all Debian users.

These repositories are now deprecated and replaced with the new repo which is available at:

• deb.i2p.net

• deb.i2pgit.org
