Linux package repositories

For convenience, we are providing package repositories. With versions including and excluding CUDA linking. We recommend to install Jungfraujoch viewer from nocuda repository and remaining packages from cuda12/cuda13 repository.

The repository name encodes two choices: the slsDetectorPackage version the packages were built against (slsdet8 = 8.0.2, slsdet9 = 9.2.0 — it must match the detector firmware) and whether CUDA is linked in. What ends up inside each package, and what it needs on the target machine, is described in Release contents.

RHEL based systems

For RHEL systems we provide the following repositories:

To install the repository, run:

dnf config-manager --add-repo https://gitea.psi.ch/api/packages/mx/rpm/centos/el8/slsdet8-cuda12.repo

RPMs are signed by the Gitea package registry as they are uploaded. If your system cannot verify the signature, set gpgcheck=0 in the repository file or install with --nogpgcheck.

We provide the following packages in the repository:

  • jfjoch — broker, web frontend, FPGA and detector command-line tools

  • jfjoch-driver-dkms — PCIe kernel-module source, built by DKMS

  • jfjoch-writer — HDF5 writer service

  • jfjoch-viewer — desktop viewer, the offline analysis tools and the XDS plugin

Ubuntu based systems

For Ubuntu systems, we also provide the following repositories:

sudo curl https://gitea.psi.ch/api/packages/mx/debian/repository.key -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gitea-mx.asc
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gitea-mx.asc] https://gitea.psi.ch/api/packages/mx/debian $distribution $component" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitea.list
sudo apt update

$distribution uses Ubuntu names jammy (22.04) and noble (24.04). $component can be set to cuda13 and nocuda. Only slsDetectorPackage 8.0.2 is built for Ubuntu.

The same four packages as above are provided: jfjoch, jfjoch-driver-dkms, jfjoch-writer and jfjoch-viewer. Up to 1.0.0-rc.160 the first of them was misnamed jfjoch-jfjoch; the current package replaces it, so apt upgrade handles the rename.

Ubuntu packages are currently only going through a very limited testing.
