Linux yubikey-personalization developer release is pretty complicated and hard to use... #102

The Linux OS release isn't actually in binaries like the rest of the others OS releases why?

Secondly, A lot of configuration is needed to make the release work which isn't listed in the official release documentation or release notes page??

Among the things that seems to work is in a linux machine is that Commands apt-get update && apt-get upgrade have to be executed before dependencies like libyubikey-dev are installed. Why is this happening? If so could you please list the underlying linux packages that should be up to date so that the dependencies like libyubikey-dev and libusb-1.0-0-dev are installed?

Our experience has been that getting the software from the packaging system of your distribution will typically make you happier than a download from us, it should be available in most distributions. Completely agree that calling it a linux download is missleading at best. We're in the process of overseeing what and how we offer downloads, I will make sure this is considered when we do.

The README should have documentation for how to build the release and what is required to do so.
