Debian repository: create Packages.gz along with Release #36

Closed laeti-tia closed 1 year ago

If we want to be able to use the unibuild-repo content with APT, it would be easier to have a Packages.gz file instead of the Release one. This can be done just by gziping the Release file and renaming it to Packages.gz

Then we can use an apt source list file like:

deb [trusted=yes] file:/some/local/path/to/the/git/repository/unibuild-repo/ ./

and easily install the built packages with APT tools.
