You should ask this to your favourite distro packagers, not to the home assistant developers.

In any case, it is such a mess of dependencies due to load of optional packages, very active development, that continuously break dependencies on the package repo.

What advantage would bring have a most of the time obsolete distro specific repo? On a maintainer POV this is the typical use case for distro agnostic deployment, maybe flatpak, maybe docker.

I disagree. The Home Assistant developers are the ones who chose to create an OS rather than distro packages. Or at least software which is amenable to being packaged by distros.

Since HA depends on a lot of python packages, on external softwares and libraries it could not feasible to ensure that the versions packaged with the distribution will always be in line with those needed by HA

it could not feasible

I disagree.

Then go do it.

I’m not a Debian Developer and won’t become one: settrans.net/~rah/why-not-debian.html

Then do if for your distribution then. It’s clearly not that difficult, you’ve all but clearly stated as much.

I use Debian.

It’s clearly not that difficult, you’ve all but explicitly stated as much.

I have not said that, or anything like it.

So then it isn’t actually that feasible then, otherwise you’d do more than just whine about it on the Internet.

So let me get your logic straight: you’re saying that it isn’t feasible because if it were feasible then a person who could do it would necessarily do it? LOL that makes no sense.
