Packages for popular OSes using the Linux kernel.

| Distribution     | Packaging format         | Status |
|------------------|--------------------------|--------|
| Arch Linux       | pacman[1]                | Done   |
| Debian GNU/Linux | APT[2]                   | Done   |
| Alpine Linux     | Alpine Package Keeper[3] | To do  |

***(!) This branch does not include packages. It instead includes the tools 
required to make them. (!)***

***(!) The final packages only install fases box. If you want separate 
binaries you'll have to compile them yourself. (!)***

## Building packages

Please refer to the official documentation of the packaging format you're 
using for better documentation.

### Arch Linux

Building a package on Arch Linux and Arch-based OSes is simple. Just run 
`makepkg`.

```
$ makepkg
```

### Debian GNU/Linux

The process of building a package on Debian GNU/Linux is similar to Arch 
Linux. It's so similar in fact that the Arch Linux PKGBUILD also works on 
Debian GNU/Linux.

First, install `makedeb`[4]. You can then run the following command:

```
$ makedeb
```

There will also be another way to build a Debian GNU/Linux package without 
using `makedeb`.
