Is it worth using package managers and repos for this open source?

Hello, I have StinomXE, my website gets like 5,000 page views a month total and is not very web searchable, mostly direct traffic, I am thinking of making for package managers what I should, one for Swift, one for Rust, one for Go, and maybe some Codeberg repos. At least those 3 mentioned require a repo. Should I make this available with repos and package managers?

How much should I do? Should I have repos for not package manager distributions such as my other stuff? Codeberg is not very accessible to search either but it is free and hey, I can then make it slightly easier to get like my code. I know Crates.io is rather accessible. I do not think I will have a Ruby gem, too slow, but raw distribution works for DragonRuby. Any other thoughts like is there a more web searchable like Codeberg?

I already locally version control and won't be making updates under same name probably. Almost all this would be for is ease for users and publicity. X E.

Making package manager repositories for Swift, Rust, and Go is a solid move, as it improves accessibility and visibility for your projects. Codeberg is great for free hosting but isn't highly searchable—consider mirroring on GitHub or GitLab for better discoverability. If your goal is ease of use and publicity, having structured repos with clear documentation and examples will help attract users. You could also write dev blogs or tutorials to improve searchability.
 
Well, I decided to post RinomXE, its successor, on GitHub anyway and got a lot more views. Still working on package manager stuff. X E.
