Notes

The packages here are the same binaries published on each project's GitHub releases page. This repository does not build them; it fetches, indexes and signs them, which is what lets apt upgrade notice a new version instead of you checking a releases page by hand.

Only stable releases are served. Prereleases stay on GitHub.

Fedora, openSUSE and Arch users: there is no yum or pacman repository, but every project publishes .rpm and .pkg.tar.zst assets on its own releases page.
