Set up a PPA ("Personal Package Archive") for Ubuntu / etc. #71

Is there the potential for a PPA that we can add for the latest versions rather than building from source?

Currently, on Ubuntu 22.04 the version is 1.99.1 which seems quite outdated.

@modem7 : hi. 1.99.1 is very outdated. A PPA will be nice, but the dpkg/debian/etc. ecosystem gives me nightmares and the new fortune-mod has some build-deps. You can peruse https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fortune-mod as a reference,

Could cross compiling via github actions or similar be a potential solution in the meantime?

I presume it could. pull-reqs / patches are welcome.

For every one that is interested in setting up an Ubuntu/etc. PPA note that I made some headway using the script here: https://github.com/shlomif/fortune-mod/blob/master/scripts/debian-packaging/build-fortune-mod-debian-package--using-docker.pl . It uses Docker. Now I am stuck with a gnupg/pinentry issue.

Mark as "enhancement" because it isn't a showstopper.
