Although 0.92 has been left out in the rain, the development team has decided to hand it an umbrella.
One of the irritating things about earlier releases of 0.92 was that it would download the same files, though they were already in the packages folder, overwriting the old ones and wasting bandwidth. That’s behind us now, thanks to modifications made by jaseen that cause Keryx to skip files that have already been downloaded.

Also, Keryx 0.92.3 downloads not only dependencies, but also pre-dependencies and recommends, ensuring that you will get all the packages you need to install your software.

One less visible improvement is the inclusion of the LocalRepo-Add.py (creates local repositories) and VerifyChecksums.py (deletes corrupt package files) scripts in the doc/ directory — both thanks to jaseen.

And finally, another small improvement allows Keryx to be used with any Linux distro with APT installed — not just Ubuntu and Debian.

So, head on over to the Download Page and get 0.92.3. For the hacking types, the Keryx source code has been packaged for downloading. You can get it at the Launchpad 0.92 download page.

UPDATE: We found a bug in 0.92.2 today that would cause dependency calculations to quit considerably early than they should be, leaving you with download lists that were incomplete at best (for example, with ubuntu-restricted-extras on the default jaunty project it was going to download 0 dependencies). We’ve patched this and rereleased 0.92.2. This will only affect the 45 people or so who have already downloaded 0.92.2. Sorry for the trouble! – Chris

UPDATE 2: I added some features to the setup script that builds Keryx releases. One improvement is that it automatically packages everything so once a new release is ready we don’t have to manually package it like we used to be doing (sad huh? ). The main reason for replacing 0.92.2(.1) with 0.92.3 is that the build script has been improved to create a single file executable for Windows using py2exe. The zip file contains 2 dlls to allow Keryx to run on Win2000 and XP installations that may be missing these important dlls from their system32 directories. – Chris
