x-cmd APT Repository

https://www.x-cmd.com/deb/ — a standard Debian archive (APT repository) hosting the official x-cmd package.

This repository is published verbatim under https://www.x-cmd.com/deb/ using the canonical Debian archive layout (pool/ + dists/), so it is consumable directly by apt for any listed architecture.

The package is built and released upstream at x-cmd/release; this repo only mirrors the .deb artifacts and maintains the repository indices. The package is architecture-independent (Architecture: all), so it is indexed once and served across all architectures.

Install (Debian / Ubuntu)

# 1. Add the repository (unsigned for now → [trusted=yes])
sudo install -m 0644 \
  <(curl -fsSL https://www.x-cmd.com/deb/x-cmd.list) \
  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x-cmd.list

# 2. Install x-cmd
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y x-cmd

Or, as a one-liner:

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://www.x-cmd.com/deb/ stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x-cmd.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y x-cmd

Verify:

x --version

└── README.md

apt fetches dists/stable/Release, then the binary-<arch>/Packages.gz for the host architecture (and binary-all). The Architecture: all package is listed in every per-arch index, so the same repository serves amd64, arm64, armhf and i386.

Adding a new release

1. Drop the new .deb into pool/main/x/x-cmd/ (optionally remove superseded ones). Regenerate the indices with dpkg-scanpackages; the Release file with apt-ftparchive (both need Debian tooling — run them through a container on macOS):

   docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/repo" debian:latest bash -lc '
     export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
     apt-get update -qq
     apt-get install -y -qq --no-install-recommends dpkg-dev apt-utils >/dev/null
     cd /repo
     for a in amd64 arm64 armhf i386 all; do
       out="dists/stable/main/binary-$a"; mkdir -p "$out"
       dpkg-scanpackages --multiversion --arch "$a" pool /dev/null > "$out/Packages"
       gzip -9c "$out/Packages" > "$out/Packages.gz"
     done
     rm -f dists/stable/Release
     apt-ftparchive release \
       -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::Origin=x-cmd \
       -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::Label=x-cmd \
       -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::Suite=stable \
       -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::Codename=stable \
       -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::Architectures="amd64 arm64 armhf i386 all" \
       -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::Components=main \
       -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::Description="x-cmd APT repository" \
       dists/stable > /tmp/Release && cp /tmp/Release dists/stable/Release'

   Release is emitted outside the scanned tree so it carries no self-referential checksum entry.

2. Commit the new .deb, the dists/stable/main/binary-*/Packages* files, and dists/stable/Release, then push. The site refreshes from this branch.

Notes

• Repository and packages are currently unsigned, hence [trusted=yes]. Switch to a signed InRelease (drop [trusted=yes]) once a GPG key is published.
• Served architectures: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, all. Add a new architecture by adding a binary-<arch>/ index and listing it in the Release Architectures field.
• Build provenance and source live in x-cmd/release.
• Companion RPM repository: x-cmd/rpm → https://www.x-cmd.com/rpm/.
