Packaging for Nixpkgs (where I already maintain what to my knowledge is the only crosvm distro package). I'm personally mostly interested in Wayland passthroug, but I wouldn't be surprised if others are interested in gfxstream. The packaging work is already done, I've just been holding off actually pushing the packages waiting for the stable releases. The reason that tags would be useful is that it allows a reviewer of the package to see at a glance that the package is built from a stable release. If it's just built from a commit hash, they have to go and verify that it's a stable release, which is mildly annoying and unconventional.
