I have been meaning to take a look at the peer-to-peer code hosting local-first git-based platform for quite some time...

I just could not get over the "curl | sh" installation method... or using a language specific package manager...

I know the world barely works this way anymore, but I still prefer to download packaged software from a trusted distro...

...yesterday I noticed that has radicle packaged!

Finally, I will get to explore this really cool project!!!

@wouter @radicle

I am aware of extrepo, and it does feel like it enables external repositories by providing a trust path from Debian...

But it is not immediately obvious what repositories extrepo provides. Dug through the sources to find:

https://extrepo-team.pages.debian.net/extrepo-data/

...and then meander through to debian/trixie ... and sure enough there are signs of radicle being there!

I guess installing extrepo and "extrepo search radicle" would be the simpler way to go about it... :)

@vagrantc @radicle I recently built if from source when an update was urgent and it only took a few hours... (nixos normally just pulls down binaries in no time).

@vagrantc
Yeah, there isn't a packages.debian.org equivalent, indeed extrepo search is your best bet.
