Consider using FPM to create packages for multiple package managers #62

As the title states, use FPM to get your packaging sorted! It was built specifically for this whole consideration because it's not the easiest and it sure ain't simple.

Hi, thanks for your comment. However, it's not about creating packages, it's about making sure they work. And I think the only way to do so is to install the distros myself and test there. For this reason, I only publish packages for the distros I'm using.

You can do as many others do and put the packages out there and say that you just don't have the ability to test on anything other than <distro you use> and that you'd gladly take contributions to help support others. Imo, it's not so black and white.

But please do whatever makes most sense for you.

New release v2.6 now provides both RPM and DEB binary packages.
