PPA repository? #32

Installing Orange on an Ubuntu machine is a big hassle. Have you considered releasing Orange on a ppa repository?

Thanks for the heads up. We'll be releasing a *.deb package soon, possibly even on Ubuntu's PPA (although that makes it available to Ubuntu almost exclusively).

FWIW, PPAs can be added in Debian, just like any other APT repository:

On debian 7 the add-apt-repository command is available and can be used to add any launchpad ppa repository in a single command.

# add-apt-repository 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/shimmerproject/ppa/ubuntu quantal main'

There may be some difficulties with dependencies that stem from different repositories that may be out of sync. E.g. Debian stable tends to lag significantly behind Ubuntu since each Ubuntu version comes from Debian unstable.
