Packages
Initially homeshick was exclusively intended to be installed by the individual user without root privileges. However, some package maintainers took it upon themselves to create packages for homeshick that can be installed through package managers regardless. Packaging homeshick makes it easier to integrate installation with configuration management tools and also eases deployment to multiple users.
homeshick is currently available for:
If you are interested in creating a homeshick package for your favorite
linux distribution, the one variable you will have to
adjust is through an environment variable is $HOMESHICK_DIR.
It tells homeshick where to load its code from.

For the package description you are welcome to use the introduction in the README.
Before packaging began, homeshick was not versioned. Users simply retreived the latest stable release from the master branch. Because packages do not work that way, homeshick releases are now tagged on an as needed basis. Version numbers follow the semantic versioning spec if possible, though homeshick has so far been both forwards and backwards compatible since 2013.
