Beyond that, we do not provide an install script or packages because these are really downstream concerns. For projects in general, not just Guacamole, rather than take on 100% of all project-related work upstream, it makes sense for a project to focus on producing and releasing stable source and docs, while downstream distributions and their surrounding communities focus on downstream packaging.

We should be able to help and/or improve the docs. Alternatively, if you're looking for packages for your distribution of choice, you could look into ways to pitch in with that downstream packaging, keep it up-to-date with upstream releases, etc., thus scratching your itch while helping others. - Mike
