Description

Hi,

I'd like to propose a feature request for a Debian package of mjolnir in https://packages.matrix.org/debian/. The rationale is that:

  1. I already and prefer to use this packages repository for synapse on my Debian server
  2. I prefer to avoid Docker
  3. Building mjolnir has the disavantage that I don't get automatic updates when there's a new release

Thanks for considering this feature request :).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Learn how to create a Debian package for a Node.js/TypeScript project. Look at existing examples in the Matrix.org Debian repository (packages.matrix.org/debian). Consider using tools like debhelper and dh make. Write a control file, rules file, and ensure the build process runs TypeScript compilation and npm install.
