7 ## Debian
8
9 Debian packages are provided by the author in separate branches, maintained in
10 the upstream repository
11
12 ### Ubuntu

14 Ubuntu imports Debian's package automagically.

17 ## Mac OS X / Homebrew
18
19 Homebrew does not require any packaging information within this repository.
20 A separate branch with a statically compiled manpage and release tags is
21 provided to ease the work of Homebrew packagers:
22
23 * The static manpage because Homebrew lacks ronn
24 * The tag so GitHub generates tarballs Homebrew can be pointed at

27 # Supporting new distributions
28
29 ## Your own work
30
31 If you are maintaining a package for a different distribution, please get
32 in touch so your work can be included in a packaging branch in the upstream
33 repository.
34 This allows others to adapt your work for their own distributions or
35 packaging needs.
36
37 ## Static manpage
38
39 The "debian-squeeze" branch carries a quilt patchset with a pre-compiled
40 manpage and the "homebrew" one carries a static manpage.
41
42 In case you can not build the manpage because you are missing ronn or you
43 prefer a precompiled manpage for another reason, please contact us; we will
44 gladly provide up-to-date packages with every release.
