Builds for Debian

[rugk]

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

[rugk]

I'd rather argue for Flatpak & Snap, which might be the distribution features (with sandboxing) of the future.

[SkyzohKey]

@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 ;)

[rugk]

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.

[rugk]

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 In fact Wheezy is really outdated, but it would be nice if you could support Jessie.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?
