Packages

Every release includes a .deb-package, an .rpm-package and a .tar.gz-package with precompiled binaries for x86_64(amd64) (more info). These are automatically built and not tested. You can install them with apt install ./whyblocked*.deb or yum install ./whyblocked*.rpm, respectively. The packages are signed with the PGP key 242E5AC4DA587BF9 (Fingerprint: F730 1ADF C9ED 2624 48C4 2B64 242E 5AC4 DA58 7BF9).
