Conceptually similar to Solus 3rd-Party, This is my semi-personal collection of 3rd-Party Packages.
For long time, Solus 3rd-Party has been deprecated, and for a very valid reason. In this era of universal packages like flatpak, appimage (and snap), and improvement to container tools like docker and podman to support GUI apps, Concept of native packages might feel redundant, but I feel it still have some merrits. It doesn't have long start time like the universal solutions. A lot of companies still only provide either a .deb or .tar.gz in name of linux support. Since the eopkg is so awesome that it can create native package from .deb files, this felt like an optimal way to install some more apps that doesn't provide .eopkg file.
Since no new packages will be accepted in their repo, This repo will contain collection of some newer 3rd-party packages which a lot of might want to use.
DO Note that this repo does not redistribute packages.
It only provides a build manifest which can be used by the eopkg tools to create a native package for Solus OS.
