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.
