Description

I want in use sops with age.
I don't see any info about how to install this on Debian.
I also don't see any Debian sops package.

How do you install sops on Debian Trixie?

And why is there no APT sops package available?


[!TIP]
It would be great if you could update you README to clarify installation process.
(The info on the release page is confusing and lacking enough details to proceed.)

Looking at the releases page, there are 2 linux files:

  • sops-v3.12.2.linux.amd64
  • sops_3.12.2_amd64.deb

What's the difference, and which should be used (if any)?
