Simple, secure and elegant adding a Debian / Ubuntu repository

Hi folks!

Now we need to add repository manually according to the instructions https://www.ivpn.net/en/apps-linux/#debian

In Debian and derivatives, there is an extrepo package that is used to seamlessly add external repositories https://salsa.debian.org/extrepo-team/extrepo

Can you add the iVPN repository to the database officially? Just complete the pull request here: https://salsa.debian.org/extrepo-team/extrepo-data

It is a clean and safe way (limiting user errors) to add external repositories. There are already many other repos: https://salsa.debian.org/extrepo-team/extrepo-data/-/tree/master/repos/debian https://salsa.debian.org/extrepo-team/extrepo-data/-/blob/master/repos/debian/protonvpn.yaml

If you add your repo to extrepo, it will simply be like this: extrepo enable ivpn_repo and later (as usual) sudo apt install ivpn-ui That's all!

Cheers!
