#3 deb file

[Averell]

Hello,
it would be easier for users to have an installer.
I have created a .deb file for ARM on a Raspberry Pi. I attach it, just in case you would be pleased to add it to the downloads.

Hi,

I must admit I was hoping that it would eventually end up as a regular package in Debian (it believe it's in Fedora). Never happened, though.

[Averell]

I would support the idea, but I don't know what can be done for that.
Anyway, thanks for the software.

Hi,
If you like to get the package into Debian, these are probably the starting points:
https://mentors.debian.net
https://wiki.debian.org/RFP

If you don't have time for it, I'll have a look.

Hi,

I've actually tried to get it into Debian a few years ago but folks never got back to me. If you'd like to give it another try, please be my guest.

Thanks,

Ok. The ready for upload package lives here:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/hd-idle
Once the freeze [0] is over I'll upload it. Right now it makes no sense, as
new packages are not accepted during freeze.

Best regards,
Alex

(I've been using hd-idle for a few years now, thank you.)
I'm on Kubuntu, and hd-idle reached our repository at least since 19.10. However, it installs with options just "-h", and one must edit /etc/default/hd-idle to uncomment a more useful setting. I suggest a mention of this in the man page.
