Publishing a `.deb` package for Ubuntu and Debian Users.

[harsh098]

Feature Request:- While it is quite intuitive to install k9s from tarballs,snaps,go etc. having a deb package can make things easier for admins to get k9s up and running in no time.
Solution-

• Implementation Phase - 1
  • Having a .deb artifact maintained as an official release (Happy to volunteer).
  • With each new release have a workflow that builds deb packages and publishes them on github packages.
• Implementation Phase - 2
  • Setting up an apt repo/PPA for easy install

Additional context If the maintainers are interested in please ping me in comments (@harsh098). I am up for discussing further on this issue.

Actually, I'd argue using the asdf package is more flexible than any of the options mentioned.

@harsh098 @windowsrefund Thanks for pipping in!

I've just added linux packaging as part of the release artifacts. They should be available on the next drop.

Hi @derailed do you need a maintainer for Linux packages ?

fyi: I have created https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2049227 to apply for adding k9s to the offical ubuntu packages. As far as I know creating such a bug ticket is the correct process to do that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages

I just noticed that someone has also created an RFP for Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1053428
