Personally, I'm a big Debian-based distro user. Having an apt repository I can install dust from would make it much easier to keep up-to-date with less effort. A great tool I've found for making .deb packages (and lots of other packages too) is fpm.

Other distros might be worth considering too.

I build releases shown here: https://github.com/bootandy/dust/releases

If you want to add the building of other packages I'm happy to include it into the release process.

I see! What I'm trying to get at is that it would be great if the installation of tools like dust is as easy as possible, so packaging it and potentially even getting it included in e.g. the default debian/ubuntu repos would seriously increase visibililty and ease of use.

I'd love to do this myself, but unfortunately I don't have any near the amount of time I'd need to do this any time soon.

I wasn't trying to sound unfriendly. I have just struggled to build packages in the past and don't personally enjoy that part of development much.
