BTW, why isn't this project available in Debian's repository too?

So we can install it faster, easier and with less problems.

Ask Debian maintainers

Ask Debian maintainers

What do you mean?

Have the developers or any other members of this project filled an ITP (Intent to Package)?

Like explained here:

https://wiki.debian.org/ITP

And like how the OpenSnitch developer did:

evilsocket/opensnitch#798 (comment)

And like how the KDiskMark developer did also:

JonMagon/KDiskMark#110 (comment)

Debian, AFAIK is a community led / run distro, so they probably don't have the knowledge and resources to package any available project, but if somebody from a project steps up and files that ITP and volunteers to build it, I think the chances increases.

Maybe volunteering to build it is not mandatory, but a request at lest must be made.

I don't think Debian maintainers are away about every project on Github or somewhere else.

On the other hand, I don't know how often is that the upstream is also the maintainer of the Debian package, but (as of today,) I'd like to focus on developing the app.

Basically, I agree with this sentiment. We make the packages available for everyone on GitHub, and they can be installed with 2 simple commands.

Also, there's no way I'm advocating for putting this into Debian until the project is much more stable and reliable. At this point we don't even have unit testing.

For Debian I see in the installation guide that this should be command to install it:
sudo apt install -f ./sunshine-{ubuntu-version}.deb
Even though that's a bit wrong / misleading / outdated, as I see that this project has packages to download for Debian too, not only for Ubuntu.

Anyway, what should be the other command?
And BTW, what's with the "-f" argument, what does that do and why is it needed for this project?
As I always install .deb packages only with:
sudo apt install ./package-name
Or:
sudo dpkg -i ./package-name

Also, there's no way I'm advocating for putting this into Debian until the project is much more stable and reliable. At this point we don't even have unit testing.

I understand!

I was just thinking for myself, that after each time I install / reinstall Debian for my computer, my family computers and friends computers, I have to install some pacakages.
Being so many packages and doing it all over again so many times on so many computers, it started to become a chore so I created a small bash script to automate the installation of all required packages.
But unfortunately this works only if the packages are in Debian's repository.
I didn't have time to extend it to work also with just local .deb files.

So that's one of main reason I want more of the packages in Debian's repository itself.

Anyway, I understand that this is not a good moment for that.

Many thanks anyway for the reply!

Anyway, what should be the other command?

wget/curl to download the file

e.g. wget https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/latest/download/{file_name}

I normally download the .deb files with the web browser and just install them from the command line, but that's cool to have too!

Thanks!
