Originally created by @pktiuk on GitHub.

It would be nice and pretty convenient for users if VsCodium would be added as a package to the official Debian repository, it would make vscodium accessible for users of debian- and ubuntu-based systems without the need of adding PPA.

Instructions for adding packages can be found here and in this FAQ

I have found out that somebody has already proposed adding codium to Debian repository, it is on the list of Prospective packages (its thread).
Currently, this package is just waiting for somebody, who would like to be its maintainer.
Maybe it could be somehow integrated with this project's PPA (mentioned here https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/34)

@GitMensch
Unluckily no, because I don't know anything about packaging Typescript apps.
The only think I can do in this matter is running lintian to check deb package.

I think it would be good to find maintainer experience with packaging this type of apps.
I think there is a need for such a package (check request for adding vscode to debian repos)

This should be firstly taken into account (in terms of improving packaging)

Maybe working to be compilable to more supported archs by Electron as showed in https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/465, should be taken into account.

@GitMensch commented on GitHub:

I'm not sure if there's anything we can reasonably do on our side - this is a Debian package issue (found in the Debian issue tracker) which is officially "blocked" by several issues (most important: electron package).

Until Debian has that the vscodium website does provide notes how to install it with adding an external repository.

While it would be nice to have vscodium in Debian directly, I tend to close this as unplanned-not-our-issue. Is there a reason to not do this?

I don't think we can expect that Debian will integrate VSCodium any time soon since they like extra stable softwares (with 5 years support with LTS).

Agreed, so please go on with the Debian issue tracker (items linked above) and in the meanwhile use the option with the private repository added.
