- **added** — Add preinstalled Linux Video Acceleration API (VAAPI) drivers

- **fixed** — Fix .deb and .rpm installation package builds

This update adds [preinstalled Linux Video Acceleration API (VAAPI) drivers](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/advanced/transcoding/) and [fixes the package names](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/4967) in the [Intel QSV hardware driver](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/advanced/transcoding/#intel-quick-sync) installation script.  🔧

We have also fixed the [.deb](https://dl.photoprism.app/pkg/linux/deb/) and [.rpm](https://dl.photoprism.app/pkg/linux/rpm/) [installation package](https://dl.photoprism.app/pkg/linux/README.html) builds as an alternative to the plain .tar.gz packages attached to this release. Note that these are intended for experienced users and third-party integration maintainers only, as they require manual configuration and do not include tested system dependencies. Since we are unable to [provide support](https://www.photoprism.app/kb/getting-support) for custom installations, we recommend [using one of our Docker images](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/docker-compose/) to run PhotoPrism on a private server or NAS device. 📦
