HTCondor is available as a native package in Debian. Currently, HTCondor 7.8.2 is in =testing=, which will become the next stable release, Debian 7 (=wheezy=). More recent versions of HTCondor are available in =unstable= (a.k.a. =sid=).

Note: The HTCondor Team releases Debian packages of HTCondor that closely resemble the tarball packages. This page does not describe those packages.

Michael Hanke is the current maintainer of the Debian package for HTCondor. The mailing list address condor-debian<at>cs.wisc.edu is also listed as a maintainer.

The source tree used to create the Debian package lives on its own branch, which adds a =debian= directory and removes some files that shouldn't be in a Debian package. Merges from the HTCondor release branches are done as required when making a new release.

In the HTCondor git repository, branch =debian= contains the most recent Debian package for HTCondor (7.8.4 as of this writing). It is also stored in the git repository http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-exppsy/condor.git, on the =master= branch. In that repository, branch =maint-wheezy= contains the source for versions in =testing= (a.k.a. =wheezy=), which is 7.8.2 plus back-ported security patches. Some of the Debian package releases are tagged in both repositories with names like =debian/7.8.2_dfsg.1-2=.
