Based on the discussion from a few months ago, and given that Wireguard now supports Jessie's 3.16 kernel, these instructions should be added: For Debian jessie or stretch: # echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable-wireguard.list # cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/preferences.d/limit-unstable Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 200 EOF # apt update # apt install wireguard-dkms wireguard-tools I have verified that the resulting setup is functional (with 0.0.20170421-2 on jessie).

I think I had asked about this same thing a while back, but somehow I got confused in the ensuing mailing list thread and eventually I forgot about it. So I'm glad you've brought this back up. I updated the install page with verbatim what you sent.

I updated the install page with verbatim what you sent. Thanks! Note that the previous installation instructions (basically, just "sudo apt install wireguard-tools wireguard-dkms") were valid for Debian sid. The new installation instructions are only valid for Debian jessie and Debian stretch (admittedly, probably the largest fraction of Debian users). But I still think you should reflect this in the instructions. Debian wheezy is not supported (with its old 3.2 kernel), although it could be possible to use wireguard with the wheezy-backports kernel (3.16). I don't think it's worth mentioning it anyway, Wheezy is old-stable and will soon be old-old-stable. > Jason > > On Sat, May 13, 2017 at 9:05 AM, Baptiste Jonglez > <baptiste@bitsofnetworks.org> wrote: > > Hi Jason, > > > > Could you update the installation instructions for Debian [1]? > > > > Based on the discussion from a few months ago, and given that Wireguard > > now supports Jessie's 3.16 kernel, these instructions should be added: > > > > For Debian jessie or stretch: > > # echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable-wireguard.list > > # cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/preferences.d/limit-unstable > > Package: * > > Pin: release a=unstable > > Pin-Priority: 200 > > EOF > > # apt update > > # apt install wireguard-dkms wireguard-tools > > > > I have verified that the resulting setup is functional (with 0.0.20170421-2 on jessie). > > > > Thanks, > > Baptiste > > > > [1] https://www.wireguard.io/install/ [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 833 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

As the debian maintainer for wireguard, I agree with Baptiste on all these points, and on his earlier recommendations. Thanks, Baptiste, for the clear and concise documentation. --dkg [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 832 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Donenfeld; +Cc: WireGuard mailing list [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1785 bytes --] Hi again, I think there is a small mistake in the installation instruction for Debian, sorry about that: the "Pin-Priority" should be set to 150 instead of 200. Long explanation: on jessie, the jessie-backports repository also has a priority of 200. After enabling unstable with the same priority, APT will propose to upgrade all packages from jessie-backports to unstable, which is probably not wanted nor expected. Daniel, does that all make sense? Baptiste On Sun, May 14, 2017 at 12:58:37AM +0200, Jason A. Donenfeld wrote: > Hey Baptiste, > > Spectacular, thanks a bunch.

Yep, that sounds reasonable to me. fwiw, apt_preferences(5) indicates what the different cutoffs for priorities are, and explains why jessie-backports defaults to something in the 200 range ("NotAutomatic: yes" and "ButAutomaticUpgrades: yes"), and 150 should still have the same properties (it's above 100, but below 500). --dkg ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
