Ubuntu/Debian Packages? #90

It would definitely be awesome, and someone else requested it in the past too. I personally have no time to do it. If you want to do it, and it works well, I'll put it up on the public site. Preferably we'll have an automatic script that creates a package so we could use it in the future too after we change the code. |

Just as a heads-up: As mentioned in #107 (comment), in addition to the GNU/Linux application bundle we now build on Travis, we'll probably build an AppImage, which is a format that allows packaging a single binary for all GNU/Linux distributions. It's portable due to it's nature of complete isolation, easy to install (by end users) and can be distributed with configuration management tools, automatically. (Simply copy the binary, no need for a specific installation procedure -- apart from providing a desktop shortcut, probably.) This obviously makes it totally optional to build a Debian package, a Snap package, a Flatpack package. If someone contributes this as an additional possibility for installers, fine. |

For future reference, details about adding a Snap to Ubuntu Software: "Getting Python and wxPython apps into the Ubuntu app store" (blog post from the current Python newsletter) |

I just git cloned this repo, |

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

It would be great if this were packaged for Ubuntu. Has anyone thought of doing this?
