Are you looking for mitmproxy-on-linux maintainers, or Linux kernel maintainers? You have found the former I suppose, but I'm the wrong person to ask for the latter. :)

I was looking for a quick way to update my version from the command line (ubuntu), but --options didn't show anything off hand like an --update/--upgrade. I just briefly skimmed the docs/google for something that would avoid having to reinstall the binary.

EDIT: also is there a way to configure the IDE that pops up when I go to edit path? It's vim which is fine, I'm just curious if I can either integrate a custom vim installation or route it to another IDE.

The recommended way to install mitmproxy on Linux is to download new standalone binaries. They are self-contained and can just be dropped into /usr/local/bin. If you want some way to update automatically, use our Docker images, install via pipx (https://docs.mitmproxy.org/stable/overview-installation/#ins...), or (for Windows users) use the Microsoft Store.

You can set $MITMPROXY_EDITOR or more generally $EDITOR. :)
