Availability of Debian packages

[lewismc]

I have been unsuccessful in my search for an existing published fmilib Debian package.
I do see viproma/debian-fmilib and I am going to ask over there in a bid to see if this package is maintained and could be published.
I see no documentation in this repository for convenience packaging. Did I miss anything?
I did come across the conda-forge/fmilib... but this requires a more complex dependency overhead.
Are there any plans to provide Debian (or other types of) packaging?
Thanks in advance for any information 👍

Hi @iakovn some primitive outreach has resulted in @kyllingstad being favorable of contributing https://github.com/viproma/debian-fmilib to this Github Org.

Are you interested in accepting this contribution?

Personally I think a community-supported Debain package could be really useful for the Modelon community. We would use it at NASA JPL for instance.

Thanks for your consideration.

Hi @lewismc. There are currently no plans for this, however I am open to look into it.
For my own understanding, is it correct to say that you rather have a Debian installer of FMI Library than an installer provided via conda due to all the additional dependencies included via conda?
