Native packages and an APT repository

cardinal ships .deb packages and an apt repository alongside the binary.

Installing cardinal gets a lot friendlier. Alongside the raw static binary,

releases now include:

  • Debian packaging — installable .deb packages.
  • APT repositorycurl … | sudo bash style setup via an add-repo script,

so apt update && apt install cardinal works and future upgrades are a

normal apt upgrade.

  • Release workflow — the build, tag, and publish steps are automated.

The installer stays a one-liner, but now you can manage cardinal through your

distribution's package manager like any other system tool.
