PackagingCon – a conference only for software package management
I love me some fpm, but I recently discovered it has a golang pseudo-replacement: https://github.com/goreleaser/nfpm#readme
It's for sure a ton harder to use (IMHO) because it mandates the creation of a manifest yaml, versus "fpm -s dir -t deb my-directory && echo tada" but not having to deal with ruby (or docker) can make it a better fit for several circumstances

LURE: AUR on non-Arch distros
I'd love to, but I am currently unable to because XBPS packages aren't supported upstream at nfpm. I might look at creating a PR to add support once my current PR that adds Archlinux package support is merged.
