[question] How do you install sops on Debian Trixie?

[eabase]

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)?

[felixfontein]

There is a SOPS apt package available: simply download sops_3.12.2_amd64.deb and tell apt to install it.

If you mean that there's no SOPS package in the Debian package repositories, you'll have to ask Debian about that, not us. The likely answer is that nobody wants to maintain one. (I'm also not sure how Debian's Go packaging guidelines look like.)
