Collaborate with us

latest-debs is a community effort. If you rely on this package and want to help keep it fresh, watching for a new upstream release or fixing a build hiccup, we'd love your help. Open an issue on this repo, or email latest-debs@users.noreply.github.com to get involved.

Disclaimer

Unofficial, volunteer-run packaging — best-effort, no SLA.

• Update cadence: publishing a release normally triggers an immediate apt-repo rebuild via webhook; the ~6h scheduled run is the fallback. GitHub outages, a missing trigger token, rate limits, or upstream archive changes can delay or skip an update; there is no freshness guarantee.
• Draft releases: every build is published as a draft that a maintainer reviews before promoting, so a new version can lag its build.
