Sebastian, As I mentioned in my initial message, the public ShapeBlue repositories [1] are noredist builds of release baselines with no additional patches or changes. My understanding is that the project cannot officially distribute the noredist plugins due to inability of the community to distribute libraries required by these components. If my understanding is correct, I don’t think a community managed package repos could contain packages with this components.
I am +1 to the categories. I am +1 to the making packages official project deliverables that are voted out. Users clear prefer to install via packages. It seems like applying the full attention of the community to test them would certainly a good thing for users.
