Distribution packages

While Wayback is still alpha-quality software as of now there are packages in various popular distributions maintained by folks in the Wayback community.

These packages are NOT supported by Wayback developers, and as Wayback development continues they may become out of date. Wayback is still alpha-quality software and development is rapidly moving, so before reporting any issues we ask you to replicate them on the git main branch to make sure they are still applicable to the latest code.
