I copy here an information got from an email:

Par contre, il semble y avoir un soucis avec le dépôt de Xenial, je ne récupères pas la liste des paquets:
ubuntu@ubuntu-xenial:~$ ls -lh /var/lib/apt/lists/alignak-monitoring*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.4K Nov 27 14:01 /var/lib/apt/lists/alignak-monitoring.github.io_repos_deb_dists_xenial_InRelease

Par exemple, sous Trusty:
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ ls -lh /var/lib/apt/lists/alignak-monitoring*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.4K Nov 27 14:01 /var/lib/apt/lists/alignak-monitoring.github.io_repos_deb_dists_trusty_InRelease
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  13K Nov 27 14:01 /var/lib/apt/lists/alignak-monitoring.github.io_repos_deb_dists_trusty_main_binary-amd64_Packages

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ grep Package /var/lib/apt/lists/alignak-monitoring.github.io_repos_deb_dists_trusty_main_binary-amd64_Packages
Package: alignak-all

Answer from @Seb-Solon :

Actually that make sense. There is nothing yet here. I only upload release of Alignak and dependencies of this package if they are not in common repositories. As I have created the xenial repos for 1.0, there is nothing yet. I don't think we want to update old version of Alignak on a new repo.

Hello,

This email came from me, due to my work on a new Ansible role to deploy alignak.

I think all repositories must contains at least the same version of Alignak (without dependencies if they're exists on distribution repositories, as you say), else it's makes deployments difficult to manage.

Or at least, perhaps add an information about repositories not available before 1.0 in documentation.

What do you think about that ?

Thanks,

Alexandre

Well, the doc is actually too "up to date". If you can wait until the release it will be perfect. If you want to install Alignak, next month should be a better fit ;)

[achaussier]

Ok, I'll keep Xenial management in a dedicated branch and wait the release :)

Thanks
