doc: Remove unmaintained .deb packaging files #282
Conversation
The list is incomplete and needs constant maintenance. For example, it is missing: * https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/bitcoin (deprecated) * https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/bitcoin-core/ * arch: bitcoin/bitcoin#17343 (comment) * ... So just remove all third-party ones.

I haven't looked extensively, but there are packagers that point directly to these files. i.e https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/9771deb49b9b8b0b83615d11c070b071b18db2ab/pkgs/applications/blockchains/bitcoin/default.nix#L31 or https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/b931884fcc6114400b4cad338a286478b2c731e9/srcpkgs/bitcoin/template#L16. |
They shouldn't be affected if they use an URL based on commit id. And using a volatile URL in build scripts seems brittle anyway. But I am happy to close this one. Should I move the third commit to a new pull? |

Remove them, similar to the rpm removal.
Also, remove third-party maintained bitcoin-core packages from the list, while touching this file, as explained in the commit message.
