That's the nature of these spare time one (wo)man side projects: packaging a piece of software for a wide variety of distributions and platforms is tedious and boring, so unless there's a large community (or money) involved, you have to compile it from source.

Of course, you can always package your favourite utility for your favourite distribution. I'm sure the author would be thrilled to endorse your package in the Readme.

Note also that Rust can compile to portable static binaries. This tool is available as such from the releases page on GH (it's in the readme)

How is that musl based binary built ? I saw the repositories travis configuration and wasn't able to find anything relevant.

The simplest way is to pass the —target flag with the musl target; that should work unless you’re also including C code, and then it may Just Work or may need you to do something special.

I've been using `nethogs` for this for a long time, and it is already in most Linux repos and can be installed quickly.

Not at my computer atm, but nethogs won't list the process name/PID, will it?

[dima55]

Yes it does. That's the whole point

RPM and DEB packaging are going to help make it available to about 90% of Enterprise and cloud based Linux environments respectively. It's well worth the effort IMHO.
