Debian package link broken #309

Closed julianandrews closed 1 year ago

julianandrews commented 3 years ago

Recently the link to the Debian package from the README has stopped working. It looks as if the whole www.vcheng.org domain is down (DNS resolves but connections time out).

If the site isn't coming back It would be great if we could get that hosted on GitHub - I've seen some projects attach the .deb files to releases (there's no real harm in adding packages to releases as far as I can tell), and then the README could link to that without having to worry about the link going down in the future.

Even if no one is building new ones, attaching the existing .deb to the 3.0.2 release would be a help!

I don't have the original .deb file I used, but I was able to generate one from my installation using dpkg-repack which should work (and I think that should be basically identical to the original, but I'm not 100% confident of that). I can't attach that here, but let me know if it would be useful and we can figure out a good way to share it!

The Debian package link for ponysay is back up now at https://vcheng.org/ponysay, apologies for the really long delay!
