If you intend to dynamically link TeXmacs, you will have to build and

Then why dynamically link? I'm happy with static linking or maybe bundling of the necessary libs.

 

Also, afaik, Denis is currently working on static build.

Meaning a tar.gz? or an .rpm?

My proposal is an .rpm containing a statically linked TeXmacs and scripts setting up our own repo for auto updates.

 

If moreover, you consider to build "idiomatic" packages (.deb, .rpm,
etc.), you will have to provide some extra work, about dependencies,
unbundling, etc.

Then let's provide just the most popular one. Also, there are tools to install rpms in debian and viceversa, right? alien?
