Hmm the linux download gives me a .deb file only. I know I could try to extract the binary from it... but I'm too lazy. (ArchLinux user)

Sorry about that. Features are prioritised according to the number of votes they receive on a public Trello board [1]. There's a card [2] for ArchLinux support.

a .deb file is an ar archive containing two .tar.gz files, one of which (data.tar.gz) contains the binary along with required files under the same paths you would install on your system. This example from tldp.org will help: ------------------------------------ $ ar tv parted_1.4.24-4_i386.deb rw-r--r-- 0/0 4 Mar 28 13:46 2002 debian-binary rw-r--r-- 0/0 1386 Mar 28 13:46 2002 control.tar.gz rw-r--r-- 0/0 39772 Mar 28 13:46 2002 data.tar.gz The 'data.tar.gz' file contains all the files that will be installed with their destination paths: drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-03-28 13:44:57 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-03-28 13:44:49 ./sbin/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 31656 2002-03-28 13:44:49 ./sbin/parted drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-03-28 13:44:38 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-03-28 13:44:41 ./usr/share/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-03-28 13:44:38 ./usr/share/man/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-03-28 13:44:52 ./usr/share/man/man8/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 1608 2002-03-28 13:44:37 ./usr/share/man/man8/parted.8.gz drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-03-28 13:44:41 ./usr/share/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2002-03-28 13:44:52 ./usr/share/doc/parted/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 1880 2002-03-07 14:20:08 ./usr/share/doc/parted/README.Debian -rw-r--r-- root/root 1347 2002-02-27 01:40:50 ./usr/share/doc/parted/copyright -rw-r--r-- root/root 6444 2002-03-28 13:37:33 ./usr/share/doc/parted/changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 15523 2002-03-28 02:36:43 ./usr/share/doc/parted/changelog.gz

I see any reason to distribute this as a .deb package for Linux. Why is this not distributed like Sublime Text? As tar.gz or tar.bz2 to extract and run?
