Distro packaging

[oknozor]

• homebrew
• aur
• .rpm
• .deb

Bombadil should also support the popular deb format.

A homebrew repo is available here : oknozor/homebrew-tap

The OpenSUSE Open Build Service can generate RPMs and Debs (and Arch packages) upon webhook events from GitHub, and then provides a repository the end-user can add to their system for update, so it'd be pretty hands-off once configured. It'd be searchable at https://software.opensuse.org/ - here's an example I set up recently. I can help set that up if that'd be of interest.

Hey @dannysauer go ahead this would be nice. There is also cargo-deb. That might be useful. If it is possible I'd rather have the deb package generated by cargo.

Also you might want to take a look at #53 implemented by @DSpeckhals. Once this is merged we might be able to package toml-bombadil with completion files, that would be nice.

Hello @dannysauer are you still working on this ?

Hello @dannysauer are you still working on this ?

Sorry @oknozor - I unexpectedly left SUSE about two days after that (acquisition and surprise firings of a few whole teams; the "open open source company" has a CEO who's not very open internally) and subsequently completely forgot about this as I wasn't using it.

However, I can still help. I'll add it to my to do list and follow up shortly. Thanks for the reminder. :)

@TravisDavis-ops It would be great to have a nix package !
I've broken a thing or two on the main branch today, I shall fix that asap but the tests you mentioned passes on my OS. I have never used nix before so I probably will not be able to help you on this.

@dannysauer glad to here you still want to work on this, no hurry though.

I'm packaging toml-bombadil for Alpine Linux and have run into trouble using version 3.1.0 as the watchexec and speculoos dependencies are essentially too old.
Could you release a new version for toml-bombadil to be able to release the package for Alpine Linux @oknozor?

Some background information on this: the transitive dependency getrandom needs to be at least on version 0.2.10 to build with musl 1. With the outdated watchexec and speculoos dependencies on toml-bombadil 3.1.0 I can't bump getrandom to 0.2.10 with a patch because they rely on older versions of it. Bumping those dependencies, too, is a non-trivial task so it's out-of-scope for packaging for Alpine, especially considering a new version fixes this anyway.

[oknozor]

Hey @Witcher01 I will try to make a release next week, thanks for the alpine package :)
