Installation via package managers

Binary crates are meant to be development tools (such as diesel_cli) so including tac in package managers would make them more easily accessible and more correct.

• macOS: homebrew
• Windows: chocolatey
• GNU/Linux: ???

Is this something you would be interested in providing?

Sure, it's definitely not a bad idea. We already have one package on Chocolatey; but the procedure in getting packages listed and approved is just a downright pain compared to the ease with which one may publish packages on crates.io

I've never submitted a package to homebrew; I'm not sure how involved that would be. It builds from source in the first place, doesn't it? Any suggestions on going about that?

I have no interest in tracking down the zillion different processes of getting a package listed for the hundreds of popular Linux distros, but it would of course be awesome to have tac listed on there.
