Packages built in the same shitty way as always. I expected nothing less from you guys.

We're happy to take PRs. Seems everyone has opinions on packaging and you know what it's like when everyone has opinions, right? :)

Well, if that's the only complaint you have, then I think Influx have done a stellar job :-)

At least the RPM one seems okay. You should elaborate.

Or maybe you were sad because you only saw package downloads from S3 and you were looking for an actual Debian repository? Well, that actually already exists. See: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.0/introduction/insta...

It's the only complaint because I didn't bother looking further. It's not a sign of a good engineering when the build system and packaging are mess.

I'm glad you answered your own question, but it was you who asked that. I couldn't care less if they provided APT repository; using random repositories from various companies is asking for trouble with managing your servers (hint: package retention policies).
