  "textContent": "**TLDR** : It’s just more work and licenses can be complicated.\n\nI found this in an old thread:\n\n> Building specific distribution packages for each Linux family (mainly rpm and deb) adds some extra work but it will a good thing for the future.\n>\n> As for PPA on Launchpad, there could be a licensing issue because we are obliged to stick with the TrueCrypt license and even if it is an open source , there are those who think that it is incompatible with open source.\n>  I’m not a lawyer, but my personal opinion is that the TrueCrypt license is a valid open source license so I don’t see any problem in this side.\n\nThen a newer one where he says he doesn’t have enough time:\n\n> The project is alive…I’m just the bottleneck!\n>\n> I have published Debian 13 packages for VeraCrypt 1.26.24: VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid\n>\n> I do my best to address all needs and feature requests but my limited time sometimes causes delays. That being said, I always appreciate receiving follow-ups on such requests.\n\nSomething more that I’ve found: In this thread they’re talking about a 3rd party repo",
