Description Harald Sitter 2016-07-08 11:29:26 UTC

Currently discover can not handle native distribution archive formats such as .deb or .rpm. This means that unless a distribution installs a secondary tool users can not install google-chrome or steam as they ship a bootstrap harness via native formats.

Would be handy to be able to install that sort of stuff with discover.

Reproducible: Always
