Field source: Debian 13 (Trixie) main amd64 revision trixie-main-amd64:3ab4e811cf4f3e5a335d382c58cc19d85f1abe7a4ef4689160ca1f637fa0e9b3

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Version	Release	Architecture	Repository	Package size	Installed size	Publisher repository artifact
1:2.5.0-11	trixie / main	amd64	Debian 13 · main · amd64	639 KiB	2.6 MiB	pool/main/f/festival/festival_2.5.0-11_amd64.deb

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.

1:2.5.0-11 / amd64Observed Sep 1, 2026 to Sep 1, 2026

Verification status: Metadata observed; artifact bytes were not independently fetched or hashed by this catalog import. The digest below is source-reported.

Source-reported sha256: bbc609b5e09137cda581ab7aca6f3aada78e9f6eb3c2e55957a2851504e0ecbe

After downloading that exact artifact, compare its bytes with the source-reported expected digest:

printf '%s  %s\n' 'bbc609b5e09137cda581ab7aca6f3aada78e9f6eb3c2e55957a2851504e0ecbe' 'festival_2.5.0-11_amd64.deb' | sha256sum --check --strict -

A match establishes equality with the repository metadata value. It does not establish safety or catalog-side artifact retrieval.

Sources and provenance

Field-source links above resolve here. Each source entry names the metadata publisher, trust tier, exact snapshot revision, signature result, and observation time; catalog-derived mappings are labeled separately.
