Hello,

I am trying to figure out the best way to package Metamath for my Linux 
distribution.

The main issue is that the metamath.tar.bz URL [0] seems to be getting ninja 
updated. This conflicts with the desire to have a one-to-one map between 
version numbers and sources. I assume the tar is reflecting set.mm updates 
while the metamath executable source remains static at version 0.178.

In particular, I am packaging for Void Linux [2] which does not package 
directly from git branches. It requires stable versions as a policy. What would 
be the best way to go about packaging up metamath in this scenario?

One idea that comes to mind is to offer only the executable, requiring users to 
manually install their desired proof databases. However, it seems that the 
metamath executable isn't being packaged up on its own [1].

If I am just missing something obvious, or if anyone has better ideas, I would 
appreciate some pointers.

Cheers,
B. Wilson
