That first command should have read âdget -dâ rather than âwgetâ. Youâd also have to install âpbuilderâ and âdevscriptsâ packages first.

Stephen:
Iâm facing a similar issue and am trying an approach you might consider: backporting the version of Condor in debianâs âunstableâ branch.
wget http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/condor/condor_8.6.8~dfsg.1-1.dsc
pbuilder create --basetgz /var/cache/pbuilder/stretch.tgz --distribution stretch
pbuilder build --basetgz /var/cache/pbuilder/stretch.tgz condor_8.6.8~dfsg.1-1.dsc
Iâm pretty sure you have to be root to do all of this since it basically chroots into a clean environment and then builds the package just like it would on debian.org repos.
If you were doing this for the long haul, I think thereâd be some extra steps to ensure a version # that behaves well for package and OS upgrades. But, in this world, we can expect the Condor team to deliver some
Debian 9 packages starting at 8.6.10 or above and you can probably upgrade right to those once the repos are available.

Yes this is correct. because we donât yet have native packages (apt-get) for Debian9, this is not a supported platform. so we donât put it on our download page. But we expect to support
it soon. Iâm not doing the work, so this is only a guess - but I would expect it to be supported for the 8.6.11 release which is currently scheduled for early May.

So it sounds like the original link from the build farm is unstable, but it is considered an "official" Debian 9 build for 8.6.10
The stable build summary page is your continuous integration/build summary page, but I would need to scrape it and follow green links until I arrived at one of the
pages for the daily build artifacts and then download the "results.tar.gz" file?
I think just stashing the tarball that I downloaded someplace is the easiest route for now.
Any ETA on getting the official Debian 9 package available on a repo? I can get by for now with the tarball, but I'd like to use a cleaner install method once it
becomes available. Should I check back in a week, a few weeks, a few months?

Correction, the link that Todd posted *is* an official release â because the latest stable release was only a few days ago itâs per-commit build was still valid, so thatâs the one Todd posted.

that URL is not at all stable, it will expire in about a week, and it does not represent an official release, itâs just an automatic build of the current head
if the stable GIT branch.
This URL is stable
http://submit-3.batlab.org/results/continuous.php
It is *usually* safe to use any build that passes all of the tests (i.e. the green rows), but most of these are pre-releases and not really recommended for production use because there are some things that
cannot be tested in an automated way. Actual releases are tested in production on a real pool for at least 3 days (usually more) before they are put into our repos and/or our download page.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for the link to your build farm, those the tarball binaries are almost perfect!
How stable is the URL to that tarball? I'm actually building a docker image which has to include condor clients, and I'm curious if I can just put that URL in the Dockerfile that builds the image, or if I should
stash the tarball someplace and avoid using the URL into your build farm. Any ETA on the official Debian 9 build?

Does anyone have prebuilt Debian 9 binaries?
Hi Steve,
You can grab prebuilt binaries of HTCondor for Debian 9 from our official build farm here at UW-Madison (called "BaTLab" for build and test lab). Note these binaries will just be in tarball form; the work to package a DEB file for Debian 9 isn't done yet.
Once it is, there will be a Debian 9 repository etc as usual on htcondor.org.
To grab Debian 9 binaries, the build at this URL are the binaries used for the HTCondor v8.6.10 release:
http://submit-3.batlab.org/nmi/results/details?runID=435200
On this web page, on the left side column, you will see "download results" and a bunch of platforms... click on "x86_64_Debian9" (direct url is
http://tinyurl.com/ycwl7dek ) and that will
give you results.tar.gz. Inside this compressed tarball you want the file public/condor-8.6.10-x86_64_Debian9-stripped.tar.gz.
regards,
Todd
