Currently only a .deb package for Companion is provided: opentx
Would it be possible to provide an .rpm since many use this format?
Better still would be to get it included in the repos, or use OBS
The alternative of checking out from git, installing dependencies and building myself means I don't use it but would like to.
thanks

Re: support for other Linux distros
I run Slackware, which has a very useful program included for converting .deb and .rpm files to .tgz. deb2tgz <filename> converts .deb files and rpm2tgz does the same for rpm files. Works like a charm most of the time, and never had a problem with companion.deb files.
There is a program called "alien" - which I haven't used - but appears to be a universal package converter, and should do deb to rpm conversions.
The only caveat I would advise is to inspect the newly created package to make sure the structure looks right before installing it!

OTX source can be found here https://github.com/opentx/opentx
and building from sources is not a big problem
