I tried to produce Debian and Ubuntu builds, it's mostly working. But the GUI framework I'm using (Qt) has serious problems with tray icons on Debian arch (on Debian, a black line appears instead of icon at tray bar, on Ubuntu, the tray icon appears on the left of the top bar, above Ubuntu's main menu) so I am waiting for them to fix their bugs. Otherwise, it's working out of the box.
For more information, here's a totally non-polished, detailed text about how it works.

- cordite 13y agoThanks! This should satisfy my interest.
- kristopolous 13y agoI'll see if I can get around to helping you with that. Linux software is ok with copious debugging to the terminal and an ugly UI - it will fit in well.
- ThePinion 13y agoSo the only problem is with tray icons? I'd like to test this, but I only have a Linux OS at the moment. Can we get a .deb if we promise to not complain about anything wrong? :)
- rolleiflex 13y agoHey there, I could certainly get you linux binaries if you agree to be my linux beta tester :). The issue with tray icon is that it's pretty critical to application's existence, in that the app needs to stay in the background as long as the computer is open. It's a daemon, essentially. Without a functioning tray icon, it's impossible to shut down the application other than via kill [pid] or another way via shell. If you are interested, please email me (in my HN profile). I'm definitely interested in maintaining Linux binaries or help people maintain them.
