Ah, the good ol' pipe through sudo bash installation instructions. I wish there was a more structured platform independent way of distributing stuff before the stuff is packaged by distros.



We decided to offer bash-piping to make it simpler, but it's actually nothing more than a clean deb/rpm package.

And you have the option to install it manually if you want https://github.com/draios/sysdig/wiki/How%20to%20Install%20S....


Are you maintaining the debian build-scripts in some other repo? I was hoping for a /debian directory and being able to simply dpkg-buildpackage from the git repo, but I can't find any way to build debs (or rpms)?

Does appear to build fine with cmake/make, though.


We use CPack for the moment, so you can just run "make package" inside the CMake build directory and it will generate RPM/DEB.


pipe sudo bash is one thing, delivery of said bash script over http:// is quite another.

An https link should be the default IMHO.

edit: the tool looks really useful though.


You're right, you can use this:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.draios.com/stable/install-...

We'll update the page in a second


Well done Loris. Agree https would be a good default.
