Builds for Debian
Currently online Ubuntu builds are provided, but "GNU/Linux" != "Ubuntu".
You may also just use the tox.chat repositories for this. Or maybe offer a statically linked version if it is not too large.
There is an AppImage build, which should works on every Linux distro too, and I plan to make .rpm's
Static builds could be a solution yep
I'd rather argue for Flatpak & Snap, which might be the distribution features (with sandboxing) of the future.
@rugk Flatpak needs a runtime, Snap too. AppImage is a standard format that runs everywhere without any dependencies needed, that's why I prefer it ;)
Yeah, just publishing multiple formats would be great IMHO, so that everyone can use it. And if we use such container technologies we not only have a security enhancement, but there are also only 3 technologies to use (instead of the many .deb/.rpm/… package formats distros may have).
Just to be sure @rugk , when you say there is no package for "Debian", you mean Wheezy / Jessie, right? Because there are actually packages for Stretch and Sid: https://build.tox.chat/view/ricin/
I couldn't create Ricin packages for Wheezy and Jessie because @SkyzohKey uses "cutting edge technologies" whose packages are not available for Wheezy / Jessie or too old at least.
Ah okay, thanks for your information. In fact Wheezy is really outdated, but it would be nice if you could support Jessie. Maybe use jessie-backports?
