Debian maintainer <- Volunteer needed, help!

moar should be part of Debian.

As a positive side effect, this would also make moar part of Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives.

If you decide to maintain moar for Debian, please close the associated Request For Packaging.

@walles I wrote a nice workflow for releasing deb / yum packages, if you would be interested?
https://github.com/Jelloeater/stampy/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml
LMK?
I'm using packagecloud.io and it works well.

Thanks @Jelloeater!

This got me thinking about what I'm really after here and I came to two conclusions:

• I want not just a Debian package, but a Debian maintainer to maintain a moar package in Debian
• Until then, Debian users can just as well use Homebrew or go install for their moar needs

I don't think packagecloud.io would add any value for moar users, since AFAIU that's just another third party repository just like Homebrew / go install, and moar is already maintained there.

But maybe I'm just wrong there?

With a Debian maintainer though, moar would magically show up for Ubuntu as well, and other Debian derivatives, like my ps replacement:

• px is maintained for Debian: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/px
• This makes px magically show up for Ubuntu as well: https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/px

I have attempted to clarify the title and description of this ticket, and boosted Homebrew as an install option on Linux.

Yeah, that would be great for sure. I've just seen it can be hard for smaller applications to get accepted into the main line distros, so I don't bother for my little personal stuff, but for YOUR app, it's WAY more popular and would def be great to just let folks be able to apt install moar for sure!

You might want to include toss in https://github.com/marwanhawari/stew as a option for installing? I use it for all my binary CLI app.

It seems like ALOT of work to get it included tho :-(
