A product is only as good as its channel to market. Having downloadable things is fine but not really a good vehicle – except for Windows, and OSX users who don't use MacPorts or Homebrew. Having platform integrated packaging for Debian (and Devuan?), and hence Ubuntu and Mint, and (if it were available) Fedora, and hence RHEL and CentOS, along with packaging for MacPorts, Homebrew, etc., etc. is the way to go. I do wonder though if d-apt is actually a bad idea as the main resource and we should package directly into Debian? -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
