Feature Request: Repositories for sudo Binaries

[mthbrown]

Hi,

It is fantastic that the project avails the latest binaries here. Would it be possible to also provide these in repository format so that the sudo package can be updated use apt, dnf, etc.? Thanks a lot

I've considered doing this in the past but no one had requested it yet. Currently, the binary packages are hosted on GitHub. I'm not sure if I would have to host the files directly in order to support apt or dnf/yum. If so, this will probably have to wait until the sudo.ws domain is hosted on a cdn.

Thanks @millert As a temporary solution, would it be possible to release the latest packages with both the current name scheme + a generic name? That would allow users to use a cronjob to easily install the latest version using the generic name to keep up to date. For example:

sudo_1.9.11-4_deb9_amd64.deb
sudo_1.9.11-4_deb9_i386.deb
sudo_1.9.11-4_deb10_i386.deb 
...

sudo_latest_deb9_amd64.deb
sudo_latest_deb9_i386.deb
sudo_latest_deb10_i386.deb 
...
