- ciprian_craciun 5y agoAt the moment, given that the majority of open-source software is hosted on GitHub, perhaps GitHub releases (as in downloads from the releases tab) might be one such possible "alternative software repository". It's only missing an official "installer"; but there are a few unofficial alternatives like `wget` and `curl`. :) ---- I'm not endorsing GitHub, I'm quite neutral about it, however at the moment it does offer a "standardized" experience. So much so, that whenever I see a project announced on HN and the link takes me to a landing page, I immediately look for a GitHub link and switch to that.
