They have packages for pretty much every platform except Debian.

Debian takes forever when it comes to adding new packages. I'm talking years.

That doesn't prevent you from having a build path to create a .deb compatible with stable and making it available. In fact, that's a good way to improve your chances of getting into Debian proper.

If anyone's interested, I do have a `.deb` build here; but it's not an official one: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-simplified/releases/...

And I haven't tested it super hard, and it's only the 64-bit build.

What does "enhanced" and "all-in-one" mean there?

"enhanced" is my branch that has a few experimental patches, a C rewrite of the tokenizer from lua; but I'd avoid it for now, as it can be slightly unstable.

"all-in-one" is my build that bundles all necessary files into the executable, so ships a completely portable, mostly statically built lite-xl as a single file.
