Making it Public

Looks like you have to serve a generate Package available on the internet, then get user's to add it to their /etc/apt/sources.list.

Toby, this would update the binaries and not the sources, right? It would be very welcome, since compiling at every new version takes about 30 minutes on each of my Zeros - and I have 4 of them to update...

Things to do

[x] Package binaries
[x] Man pages
[x] Config
[ ] systemd setup
[x] Startup scripts / migrate VM settings, JMX etc
[ ] Logs (location etc)
[x] ProGuard to reduce binary download size
