None of these links are to any official distro repos as far as I know,
and we do not endorse them or maintain them or even officially support
them. If you know of any other relatively well maintained binaries for
any platforms, please let us know. I don't really see the point in
linking to the 'official distro repos' as the only reason people go to
that page is to either fix the stupid vendor installs, or get more up
to date packages then their distro offers out of the box.

I've added your repo to the list now. In the future, please understand
we have multiple mailinglists for a reason and use the appropriate
list next time around.
