publish `cidr` to Linux package managers #88

Closed bschaatsbergen closed 3 weeks ago

We should consider publishing cidr to popular Linux package managers for easier installation and distribution. This will enhance accessibility for users of cidr into diverse Linux environments.

Do we lean towards specific Linux package managers for support? What's your take on this? @DanielRieske, @mmourick

Definitely nice to include it in standard repositories, although it seems like it would take some effort. In Debian's case, you would need to submit a request for packing or an intent to package. Have a look at https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

This is being worked on for Debian and Ubuntu: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1076649

Suggestion: create a nix flake instead. This will allow the utility to be installed using the nix package manager in any environment on any machine.
