Repository for Linux version

[Szewcu]

It will be great if beersmith will be avaliable through an apt repository and updates will be automatic.

If someone knows how to package it all up I would be happy to help. I've just not had time to dive into how to package the repository formats.

Never done that, but I found this nicely looking guide: https://earthly.dev/blog/creating-and-hosting-your-own-deb-packages-and-apt-repo/

Other option is creating PPA on launchpad.net.

I think also important thing is adding postinstall script to deb package that will add repo to apt sources and public key to keyrings.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/ques...he-release-file-on-a-local-package-repository in this topic usage of apt-ftparchive is explained. With this two links I was able to create ftp repo on localhost and install beersmith3 from it using apt.

I will take a look at that - I also need to do the 22.04 build for Ubuntu - its on my to do list.

It will be great if with repo You can also provide Debian build, since for now Ubuntu build work fine with Debian but with automatic updates there could be some unexpected dependencies problems.
