I'd like to see linux distro packages being mentioned in the readme.md .
Installing Oolite > Linux seems to be the correct location for that.
The text could be something like this :
On some distros it is possible to install oolite systemwide using packages provided by users/maintainers of that distro.
NOTE: if you are aware of such packages for your distro that are not listed here, please inform the oolite team so they can be added.
Archlinux
The last stable version can be installed by building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oolite while the development version is at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oolite-git .
Instructions for building & installing AUR packages are present on the archwiki on Arch User Repository
EDIT : Want me to create a PR for this ?
