Thanks to Kilobyte, we are now also offering packages for Debian-based operating systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc). For now there are three architectures supported: i386, amd64 and armel.
Add one of the lines from below to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
Stable release: deb http://crawl.develz.org/debian crawl 0.8
Development version: deb http://crawl.develz.org/debian crawl trunk
Additionally you should download and install our signing key to prevent warnings and to verify the packages:
wget http://crawl.develz.org/debian/pubkey -O - | apt-key add -
The available packages to apt-get are named: crawl, crawl-tiles
We’re working on getting the packages of the development version updated as regularly as the Windows binaries that we’ve been offering for a while already.

Are these packages ok for Debian or just for Ubuntu&CO?

Problems getting the signing key…
[downloads then output as follows:]
written to stdout [1735/1735]
gpg: no writable keyring found: eof
gpg: error reading `-’: general error
gpg: import from `-’ failed: general error

Able to download and add manually through the Update Manager / Software Sources => Authentication GUI, however.
Thanks for this!

Good point :D Yes, they are OK for Debian, too.
Fixed the announcement.

Thanks for setting up a repository for Crawl! I’m using Debian wheezy/sid, and everything is working just as expected. Looks like I don’t need to build Crawl from source anymore every time there’s a new release. :)

Sonja, either use the same way Richard did it (Update Manager / Software Sources => Authentication GUI) or try this:
wget http://crawl.develz.org/debian/pubkey -O - | sudo apt-key add -Or, generally, make sure you are working as root. Only root is allowed to add signature keys.

Maybe I’m being an idiot, but this installed crawl version 0.5.something? I’m on 10.04 ubuntu
