bgpq4
bgpq4 builds BGP prefix and AS-path filters for Juniper, Cisco, Nokia, MikroTik and other routers from IRR routing data. The distributions' versions miss Nokia SR Linux output, the IOS XR and MikroTik fixes and the -w fix. One release line for Debian 12 and 13, Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04 on amd64 and arm64.

follows every upstream release, minors and majors included. Currently 1.16.
Not published yet. The first bgpq4 release is being built. These commands will work once it lands at deb.freshdeb.com/bgpq4; the versions shown are the ones package.yaml will publish.

3Install
sudo apt update && sudo apt install bgpq4
apt policy bgpq4 # expect 1.16-1+freshdeb~…Already on the distribution's bgpq4? The freshdeb version sorts higher, so apt upgrade moves you over in place. Config and data stay where Debian put them.
Compared with Debian's package
Debian's packaging decides where things go: package names, paths, users, services and how upgrades behave. The build follows upstream's own release builds wherever Debian's differs.
- Build
- Upstream's release, built from the git tag with Debian's packaging, unchanged.
- Tests
- The build runs offline. Queries are tested against a local IRR server instead of NTT's.
- Layout
- Debian's:
/usr/bin/bgpq4and its man page, under the same package name, so it replaces the distribution's.
Packing list
Every release line of bgpq4 and the distributions it's built for. Each line is its own APT component and only gets the releases it follows (main: every upstream release, minors and majors included). After upstream end of life it stops building but stays installable. Hatched cells have no build: usually that distribution already ships the same or a newer version itself.
