-      Welcome to the Platypush APT repository!
-
-      Project homepage: https://platypush.tech
-      Source code: https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush
-      Documentation / API reference: https://docs.platypush.tech
-
-      You can use this APT repository to install Platypush on Debian, Ubuntu or any
-      Debian-based distro.
-
-      Steps:
-
-      1. Add this repository's PGP key to your apt keyring
-      ====================================================
-
-      $ sudo wget -q -O \\\
-          /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/platypush.asc \\\
-          https://apt.platypush.tech/pubkey.txt
-
-      2. Add the repository to your sources
-      =====================================
-
-      $ sudo wget -q -O \\\
-          /etc/apt/sources.list.d/platypush.list \\\
-          https://apt.platypush.tech/lists/platypush-<deb_version>-<branch>.list
-
-      Where:
-
-      - deb_version can be either *stable* (for the current Debian stable version) or
-        *oldstable* (for the previous Debian stable version)
-      - branch can be either *main* (for the latest releases) or *dev* (for a package
-        that is always in sync with the git version)
-
-      For example, to install the latest stable tags on Debian stable:
-
-      $ sudo wget -q -O \\\
-          /etc/apt/sources.list.d/platypush.list \\\
-          https://apt.platypush.tech/lists/platypush-stable-main.list
-
-      3. Update your repos
-      ====================
-
-      $ sudo apt update
-
-      4. Install Platypush
-      ====================
-
-      $ sudo apt install platypush

+Welcome to the Platypush APT repository!
+
+Project homepage: https://platypush.tech
+Source code: https://git.platypush.tech/platypush/platypush
+Documentation / API reference: https://docs.platypush.tech
+
+You can use this APT repository to install Platypush on Debian, Ubuntu or any
+Debian-based distro.
+
+Steps:
+
+1. Add this repository's PGP key to your apt keyring
+====================================================
+
+$ sudo wget -q -O \\\
+    /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/platypush.asc \\\
+    https://apt.platypush.tech/pubkey.txt
+
+2. Add the repository to your sources
+=====================================
+
+$ sudo wget -q -O \\\
+    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/platypush.list \\\
+    https://apt.platypush.tech/lists/platypush-<deb_version>-<branch>.list
+
+Where:
+
+- deb_version can be either *stable* (for the current Debian stable version) or
+  *oldstable* (for the previous Debian stable version)
+- branch can be either *main* (for the latest releases) or *dev* (for a package
+  that is always in sync with the git version)
+
+For example, to install the latest stable tags on Debian stable:
+
+$ sudo wget -q -O \\\
+    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/platypush.list \\\
+    https://apt.platypush.tech/lists/platypush-stable-main.list
+
+3. Update your repos
+====================
+
+$ sudo apt update
+
+4. Install Platypush
+====================
+
+$ sudo apt install platypush
