Feb 16 09:39:41 <mickeyl> Yes. If I'm about to take care about _one_ packaging format,  it's going to be .deb – since all the distros I personally use can deal with that nowadays.
Feb 16 09:40:27 <mickeyl> How's the acceptance of 3rd party apt sources these days? How much will it matter to be able to upload it to official debian mirrors?
Feb 16 12:20:13 <pabs3> mickeyl: Ubuntu folks use PPAs all the time, I think Debian folks generally expect libre things to be in Debian
Feb 16 20:10:53 <pespin_> mickeyl: at osmocom we use OBS to build and mantain a debian repo: https://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Nightly_Builds
Feb 17 01:49:33 <DocScrutinizer05> OBS is great
Feb 17 01:50:42 <DocScrutinizer05> I maintain a kicad nightly build on suse OBS (tautology since originally O is OpenSuse iirc)
Feb 17 01:53:11 <DocScrutinizer05> Cron <jr@newbie> /bin/bash -c "cd $HOME/OBS/'home:reisenweber:branches:electronics'/kicad-unstable-nightlies; osc service rr"
Feb 17 01:56:47 <DocScrutinizer05> https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:reisenweber:branches:electronics/kicad-unstable-nightlies and DAMN! good I had a look

Feb 17 02:08:42 <DocScrutinizer05> mickeyl: if you have problems with debian accepting FSO package, you might consider maintaining master at devuan
Feb 17 02:10:52 <DocScrutinizer05> odds are a devuan package will find its way back to debian sooner or later. Acceptance of 3rd party apt sources is not really high at least among other distros and their maintainers that tend to clone/track debian repos
Feb 17 02:11:01 <DocScrutinizer05> aiui, at least
Feb 17 02:12:37 <DocScrutinizer05> (devuan) maybe you also don't like to have to mess with systemd, for FSO this could indeed be relevant. Then devuan is the better choice
