New Swift Package Repository for Ubuntu/Debian Linux Distributions

Special Update

Hi everyone,

A lot of people have been asking for a Swift release for Amazon Linux 2023.
I am happy to announce that the Swift Community Apt Repository is now also hosting RPM packages for yum/dnf installation.

Swift versions 5.8.1 and 5.9.2 are now available for amazonlinux 2023.

Installation of the repository is the same as before -

curl -s https://archive.swiftlang.xyz/install.sh | sudo bash

Installation of Swift -

sudo dnf swiftlang

Details on how the swift toolchains are built are here -

Thanks.
