I'm just checking to see the status of Debs and RPMs for Linux? The RPMs at least have been in 'beta' for a while so it would be great to see that progressed and have an easy way to install Swift on Linux!

@Ron_Olson is the guy to ask about RPMs, and there is recent work on getting Swift into Debian.
@futurejones, could you help get that Debian package in, whether adding your packaging scripts or advice?

The latest version of Swift is available on Fedora via dnf install swiftlang.
Swift is also available in the EPEL 8 and 9 repos (see Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) :: Fedora Docs), so by enabling this repo you can also install Swift via the command above for CentOS 8/9, RHEL 8/9, Oracle Linux, etc. (anything that can use the EPEL repo and is Fedora-based).
