I’ve just started a package repo for Edison in a similar manner I did one for Galileo. I think that should be a useful service for all board owners who don’t want to build their own images just to add a couple of packages into the OS.
All the configuration instructions are here, community discussion thread is here – enjoy and let me know if you need a package, which is not there yet! I can’t promise I definitely add it, but I will try :)
