Just on this, can I propose we put both your and William’s packages there for the time being? There are some technical differences between the packaging approaches that mean that some users may seek out specifically Williams or Lutra’s packages. My understanding from William is that some of these can be resolved while others cannot easily. For example you cannot install pip packages into the QGIS code signed bundle. Currently with the Lutra packages I am still locked into night mapping theme which I need to file a ticket about still :-P We could collaboratively provide some test with the download outlining which installer is appropriate for which user type.

Regards

Tim
