retrosaver apt repository

Signed Debian packages of retrosaver, which brings classic XScreenSaver display modules back to GNOME on Wayland. This address is meant for apt; this page only explains how to use it.

Install

Fetch the signing key and print its fingerprint:

sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/retrosaver-archive-keyring.asc \
  https://retrosaver.prem.us/retrosaver-archive-keyring.asc
gpg --show-keys /usr/share/keyrings/retrosaver-archive-keyring.asc

The fingerprint must be exactly:

54EF82BF27008A7345E415BB20F092797CFB23BD

Check it against the README on GitHub too. A fingerprint served from the same site as the key cannot vouch for that key on its own. If it differs, delete the file and stop. Otherwise add the repository and install:

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/retrosaver-archive-keyring.asc] https://retrosaver.prem.us stable main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/retrosaver.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install retrosaver
retrosaver setup

From then on, apt upgrade picks up each new release. The package installs the same key file and keeps it up to date, so you never need to fetch it again. The README explains what retrosaver setup changes and how to remove everything again.
