    You should ask this to your favourite distro packagers, not to the home assistant developers.

    In any case, it is such a mess of dependencies due to load of optional packages, very active development, that continuously break dependencies on the package repo.

    What advantage would bring have a most of the time obsolete distro specific repo? On a maintainer POV this is the typical use case for distro agnostic deployment, maybe flatpak, maybe docker.

      I disagree. The Home Assistant developers are the ones who chose to create an OS. They could have chosen to create distro packages instead, or at least software which is amenable to being packaged by distros.

      obsolete

      What does that mean in the context of Home Assistant?

        Since HA depends on a lot of python packages, on external softwares and libraries it could not feasible to ensure that the versions packaged with the distribution will always be in line with those needed by HA

                Then do if for your distribution then. It’s clearly not that difficult, you’ve all but explicitly stated as much.

                  Then do if for your distribution then.

                  I use Debian.

                  It’s clearly not that difficult, you’ve all but explicitly stated as much.

                  I have not said that, or anything like it.

                  Perhaps you missed the fact that I’m not a Home Assistant user and have no interest in contributing?
