Generate .deb and .rpm and get into some 'apt' and 'yum'/'dnf' repository

'apt' and 'yum'/'dnf' are the most common ways to install packages. Should look at getting Wave added into a repository for ease of installation into Debian/Ubuntu and RedHat/Fedora based distributions.

Yes, this is on the roadmap. Needed to get some stars on the repo before they'd accept us :).

However, we'll probably start with "snap" and "flatpak" first since they are easier for binary distributions.

And my vote is heavily weighted towards flatpak...most developers are pretty peeved with the way Canonical has handled the SNAP format. Plus, performance is clearly worse than flatpak, less universal, and ultimately owned (and shoved down users throats) by Canonical.

We're not going to bother with getting into Apt, the requirements are frankly insanely hard to meet. We'd need to create an entirely different build pipeline. We're going to go for Snap and Flatpak instead

Yum is also probably not worth it.
