Hi Kralj, Thanks for your packaging proposal, very appreciated. We’ll have a look at it in the near future.
Would you recommend it as default distribution for all Linux systems, or are there possible restrictions that may need to be considered? The current build system is based on Windows (mostly due to the Windows executable that’s created). Maybe we could target a more platform-independent approach in future.
