Current stable/release version: BitlBee 3.0.5, released 2012-02-18

Some people maintain BitlBee packages for other systems. They're not maintained by us, so they might be out of date. Here are links to the ones we know:

  • Many Linux distributions (including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE) have BitlBee packages already. Just use apt-get, yum, yast, pacman, emerge or whatever it is on your distro of choice.
  • If you're running Debian Stable, you're probably stuck with a pretty old version of BitlBee. You may find a backport on BackPorts.Org, but the nightly builds repo is likely better. Nightly builds are usually very stable, experimental stuff is kept in separate branches.
  • Fedora/RedHat packages on Dag Wieers' apt-rpm repository.
  • Ports should be available for OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD now. They're all in the official ports trees, so I don't host them here.

For the brave and curious

We have a bzr repository which holds the current development tree (plus some other branches). There are nightly binary builds for various Debian/Ubuntu versions too.
