POLL: Linux installer
Once upon the time we've discovered that there's no need for installer under
MacOS X since it is much easier to install an application by copying from
the mountable disk image.
It seems having Windows-like (wizard) installer is mauvais ton under Linuses
as well.
So what do you think would be a proper way to distribute IDEA for various
Linux platforms (Red-hat, Gentoo, Fedora Core, etc.)?

The above is basically what my rebuild script does. I could easily add
an apt generation line as well, but as I don't use apt, I can't be arsed ;p
Why should jetbrains maintain them? Let other people create the RPM's deb's ebuild files... whatever...
The work that Mark does is already a good start i think.
One common place where these files can be found would be much nicer I think.
