Someone published a Debian/Ubuntu package:

add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://debian.jones.dk/ sid freedombox

and execute "aptitude install channel-server"

Ummm ... just publish it to npm please.

  cd /path/to/repository
  // create a valid package.json
  npm publish .
That way I can:

  npm install channel-server
Like I do with every other node.js application.

npm is great for libraries, but what are the implications for publishing apps?

I have a node app that I'd like people to be able to get easily, but it's really meant to be modified to suit each person's needs. Right now I just have people clone/fork a git repo; what would be the process for that if they were using npm?
