RFC: Distro specific packages #167

Open emansom opened 1 year ago

Follow up of #166, software using this library would be easier to redistribute across various distros if this library is available in the distro specific package repo.

For Arch specifically, I've created the following AUR package. I'll get in touch with a TU (Trusted User) for main repo inclusion. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libcollectc-git

EPEL comes to mind for testing ground on RHEL derivatives. Not sure what's the best route for main inclusion in RHEL/CentOS repos? buy IBM stock? buy gmkurtzer some expensive whiskey?

For Debian I have no idea. I know PPA can be used as testing ground, doesn't seem very accessible from a end user perspective.

It sure would be easier if it were in all of those repositories. I guess it all comes down to finding a person responsible for adding packages and convincing them that this one is worth adding. For debian that would be a sponsor. Other distros probably have similar procedures.
