It's possible that it is discouraged or disallowed by ASF, though I'm uncertain about that one, but, that aside, I don't think it's practical. As a development community we have a hard enough time keeping up with all of the feature requests and bugs, and adding packaging to the list of things we maintain as the Guacamole Project doesn't seem like something that would be wise to take on. If that's something you are interesting in building/maintaining, my best advice is to volunteer to do it for that particular distribution/repository that you have expertise in or association with. I think that's a more scalable model for packaging, anyway, as it allows for others who are also familiar with and invested in various distributions to jump in and help out with maintaining those packages going forward, and allows this community to focus on developing the software. > In the interim, we have tested and fleshed out the guacamole ansible role > here and it works great on Debian 10: > https://gitlab.sol1.net/sars/sol1-guacamole > It will function as an installer if nothing else.

It's great to get these community resources publicized, particularly when they work well. -nick
