Even more installation packages

[mcandre]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Dasel currently supports a reasonable set of installation methods, including precompiled binaries, go install, Homebrew, and apk.

However, for other users, especially tech novices, it would be helpful to have even more installation methods available:

Describe the solution you'd like

• Docker image (third party images already exist as a basis for this work)
• Chocolatey
• Debian repository
• RHEL repository
• pkg (e.g. FreeBSD)
• pkgin
• pkgsrc
• emerge

FPM can help to generate more of these packages.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Requiring my users to have experience with developing Go applications.

I'm not against this but I'd like to push further with features before I put work in here. I'm happy for contributions to enable these install methods though.

As a note, dasel is already available through docker: https://github.com/TomWright/dasel/pkgs/container/dasel

Thank you for this tool.
Revising this topic, would you consider publishing this package as WinGet package?

I would yes, it might take a little work though since I current have no Windows runners on the pipeline. I'm open to PR's if you've done this workflow before otherwise I'll do it when I get the chance. I usually work on a macbook so it might take some fiddling for me to get things working.

Dasel is now available on Debian unstable, and should migrate to testing in a few days :^)
