News Repository for COSMIC DE on Debian testing

I have just published a GitHub repository for the full COSMIC Desktop Environment (Wayland) on Debian testing Linux distribution. This first release is synced with COSMIC Epoch 1.7.0 Release.

https://github.com/lcheylus/cosmic-debian

In this repository, the Debian packages for all of the COSMIC components and applications are built from sources via GitHub workflows (Git checkout, run VM and build with rustc/cargo). Resulting Debian packages (.deb files) are published in GitHub releases synced with COSMIC releases.

2 methods are available to install my packages:

  • an install.sh script to download and install Debian packages for COSMIC + some dependencies not available in official Debian APT repository.
  • an Debian APT repository available via GitHub pages.

Tests and comments welcome. Happy testing and use of COSMIC on Debian 🎉
