The reason this helps the Signet project is because it means being able to develop the code without having to wait for hours to compile the cross compiler and cross compile the libraries. Instead, we have a fast, reproducible way to get the the libraries that are either grossly outdated in the official repo, or don't have any package at all in that repo. #SelfSufficency #OpenSource #dev

Last night I found a lua script in the MXE repo that allows me to create .deb packages. This is something I asked for a couple months ago and never got any reply. This is a huge deal, not just for me, but for everyone who uses the MXE cross compiler to make Windows executables from Linux because the official repos have not been updated in a decade and they won't compile some modern software. Soon, I will have an update version of gcc in my apt repo for everyone. I am also going to be adding documentation on how people can compile the .deb packages themselves. The ones in my repo will be signed by me, but trusting me should not be a requirement.

About Me
Official account for the Signet hardware password manager. We are a boring #FOSS project. We do one thing extremely well. We're not bolting on tons of extra features, which is why we don't have vulnerabilities to fix. We don't move fast and break stuff. We don't abandon our project after a few years like the megacorps do. Our tech just works, and we are in it for the long haul. If you dig this style, help spread the good word. We don't have constant updates to get the reach that the "live fast & die young" type projects have. A follow & some boosts would mean a lot to us.
