As a quick glance, the repository is just for deb-based distributions.
From my experience, users who eager to use the latest source codes tend
to use Arch Linux and Gentoo Linux. It's helpful for the users to
include some instructions just to use the code with DKMS system. Then
you could get any feedback from them as well.
For your information, I maintain out-of-tree codes to develop ALSA
firewire stack for a couple of years, as you start:
