It has no packageavailable for download but it's in Rust and can be built by a relativelyunskilled person. Some documentation on how one would build it is missingbut I'm sure this is something that can be remedied without much effort. Instruction pretty much boils down to:1. Run rustup2. Get the code3. Run cargo build4. Done. The undocumented part is between 2 and 3:* on Windows, change dependencies to pancurses (I should send a patch)* on Linux, `sudo apt install ...` some dependencies (needs documenting) But yeah, in an ideal world there would be a package ready for download. -Dom On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 12:25 AM Dave Huseby <dwh at vi.rs> wrote: > > Long time listener, first time caller... > > I just stood up my own Gemini space to publish my writing on user sovereignty, decentralization and privacy. You can find it here: gemini://vi.rs I'm using Let's Encrypt TLS certs with a modified Pollux. I've been watching the Gemini project for months now and I like where it is headed.

There aren't any precompiled packages or installers so I've been having them ssh to kiosk to run the VP client. Is anybody planning to publish packages/installers anytime soon? I've had several thousand hits on my Gemini space in the last couple of days despite the hurdles for getting onto Gemini. Castor is hosted on sr.ht that has CI capabilities. I'm familiar with setting up CI builds on Github but not on sr.ht. Does anybody know how to set that up and is willing to send a patch to the maintainer of Castor? > > Cheers! > Dave -- Dominik Dalek, Software EngineerThaumatec Sp. z o.o.ul.
