[Oisf-users] status of hyperscan and the ubuntu packages

[Gary Faulkner]

I do see a package on launchpad from the same contributor for Xenial,
but it looks like it hasn't been seeing any updates. Is there any chance
of the Hyperscan team adding Hyperscan  to a public a OBS or somewhere
else such that folks can grab the prebuilt packages for compatible distros?
