Hello,

I only found out via this mailing list
that there are RPM packages and apparently debian
packages.

Maybe you could add it to the documentation ("Installing BIRD" section?)
if these are the official, maintained and recommended repos to use?

https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-1.html#ss1.2

https://bird.network.cz/?download&tdir=debian/
> There are backported packages for the BIRD Internet Routing Daemon
> available. Packages are maintained by Ondrej Sury ,
> currently i386 and amd64 ports are available for Debian and Ubuntu.
> 
> If you want use this Debian package repository for BIRD, please
> execute following commands as root:
> 
> # wget -O - http://bird.network.cz/debian/apt.key | apt-key add -

you probably want to replace http with https there.

This appears to be
key AC0E47584A7A714D: public key "CZ.NIC Labs Archive Automatic Signing
Key <ftpmaster at labs.nic.cz>"

but that does not appear to be the key that is used for signing:

apt update
[...]
Err:2 https://bird.network.cz/debian buster InRelease
  The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key
is not available: NO_PUBKEY B188E2B695BD4743

Could you clarify and update the file on the server?

> # apt-get install lsb-release
> # echo "deb http://bird.network.cz/debian/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bird.list

http -> https

thanks,
Christoph
