Thank you for this! Manual compilation takes a lot of time..

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.

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. :)

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

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

Thanks for this!

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