6 years (!) after my initial Debian ITP (see here) and all the hard work on a custom Condor Debian package, they finally made it too:

The Condor people are now offering there own Debian repository for the (longer existing) Condor DEB files. This allows you to have a decently updated Debian-based cluster with the latest version available. Great thing. Use it.

If you were using my Condor Debian packages in the past, you should stop that, and do a careful migration. The user names are equal, and the Wisconsin version of the installation scripts seems to be a little bit picky. I recommend to purge my package (for example with apt-get remove –purge condor) and check for any remainings, before you start with the new repository.

The installation is by default working in personal mode, which demands no user interaction during installation. The package looks like a completely new development, which is sad – some people (check the ITP) spend some time on things such as debconf support.
