This bundle is heavily tested +before becoming stable. Here your contribution is important, we can not imagine +all they ways people uses bitmask, we need you to try it out, break it and +report back to us the problems. Read the [Bundle QA +section](/docs/client/bundle-testing) to learn how to help. + +After extensive testing and being fixed all blocking issues we release the +**stable** bundle, what is meant for public consumption. This is the bundle that +is linked for download in the [bitmask web](https://bitmask.net/). + +You can find all the bundles at https://dl.bitmask.net/client/ + +Automatic upgrades +------------------ + +The bundle uses [The Update Framework](http://theupdateframework.com/) (TUF) for +upgrades. If there is an upgrade available it will download it in background +when bitmask is running and ask you to restart bitmask to apply it. + +We have two TUF repositories: +- **stable**. For the stable bundles. This allows the released bundles to + upgrade to the next version automatically. +- **unstable**. For the *release candidate* (RC) bundles. The RC bundles upgrade + automatically to the next RC bundle that we release, but never to the stable + one. For example, if you are using the 0.7.0RC6 (the latest RC bundle for the + 0.7.0 version) you will not be upgraded to 0.7.0 but the next RC bundle + released. The latest RC bundle should be exactly the same than the stable + version with the difference of the TUF repos that are configured in them. + +Packages +-------- + +For debian and ubuntu we build native packages and distribute them in our own +repositories. We have **stable** and **experimental** packages, experimental +packages are meant for testing, like the *release candidate* bundles. + +The repository url looks like: + + deb http://deb.leap.se/[debian|experimental] [utopic|trusty|wheezy|jessy|sid] main + +- **debian** are for stable packages. +- **experimental** are for experimental packages. +- **utopic** and **trusty** are the ubuntu versions. +- **wheezy**, **jessy** and **sid** are the debian versions. + +More details on how to configure the repositories in your system in +https://dl.bitmask.net/linux/ + Show me the code! ----------------- |
