doc: Remove unmaintained .deb packaging files

Open maflcko opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

Remove them, similar to the rpm removal.

Also, remove third-party maintained bitcoin-core packages from the list, while touching this file, as explained in the commit message.

I haven't looked extensively, but there are packagers that point directly to these files. i.e https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/9771deb49b9b8b0b83615d11c070b071b18db2ab/pkgs/applications/blockchains/bitcoin/default.nix#L31 or https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/b931884fcc6114400b4cad338a286478b2c731e9/srcpkgs/bitcoin/template#L16.

They shouldn't be affected if they use an URL based on commit id. And using a volatile URL in build scripts seems brittle anyway. But I am happy to close this one.

Should I move the third commit to a new pull?
