Why isn't there a SNAP or repo installable version of lxd-p2c

Finally have a need for using lxd-p2c

But it seems the only way to get it is to build it from source?

Is there a reason why there isn’t a SNAP or an app-get installer lxd-pc2 ?

Just curious

Mostly because 99% of cases it’s to run it on an old machine which doesn’t have access to a recent snap or deb package.

We do build a static version of lxd-p2c with every commit on Github though.
You can go to https://github.com/lxc/lxd/actions and pick the latest build merged in master.

In the Artifacts section you can download the Linux artifact which will contain a static lxd-p2c binary.
