- gschier 9y agoI haven't had the time yet to learn how to host an apt repository. Maybe one day :)
- teddyh 9y agoIt’s not that hard. I recommend reprepro.
- maxaf 9y agoLook into setting up a PPA on launchpad.net, or use Bintray. Both are easier to operate than reprepro, especially if you don't care to become an expert in Debian package hosting.
- cyphar 9y agoYou can use the Open Build Service (build.opensuse.org) to build Debian/Ubuntu packages and I believe it also supports publishing an apt repo.
- thejosh 9y agoNow it's opensource, we could create an apt repository for the opensource version. I love insomnia, use it for Ubuntu, and love updates.. but hate updating :).
- gschier 9y agoThat would be awesome. Here's the issue for it if you want to talk more about it: https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/issues/182 https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/issues/182
- mod 9y agoIn arch it's definitely not bad.
- gschier 9y agoYa, Arch is easier because all you need is a Git repo with a file that links to the package. For apt, you have to have a full web server with a specific structure AFAIK.
- Xylakant 9y agoTools such as aptly will happily generate that structure for you. Hosting can happen on an s3 bucket or any Webserver that can serve static files.
