Regolith in Debian officially

[jmtd]

Is there any interest or desire on adding Regolith to Debian as official packages? Asking as a (somewhat lay) Debian developer. Thanks

Hi @jmtd , wow what timing! I am just back from a conference in which that very topic was discussed. I'm now getting setup as a Debian maintainer in preparation to push packages to the official places. I have a few Debian developers helping me out at the moment.

Great to hear. I'll keep an eye on debian-devel and debian-mentors and if there's something I think I can help with on the Debian side I might be able to pitch in!

Hi,
It's of no bearing because I can't do anything useful to help but "I'd like to second that emotion" because I'd be very, very happy to see an official debian regolith image.

First used regolith 1.6 on ubuntu base but jumped to debian several years ago. (Shamefaced confession: my main reason for switching is utterly trivial - I didn't like the snap processes messing up my htop and lsblk outputs.) I've never quite gotten regolith running quite so smoothly on debian as I did on ubuntu hence the thumbs up here.
