Hi @teunvink,
Thanks for your request. I will look into what would be required to have a stable link setup for you.
Regarding the PPA Option, are you familiar with the PPA setup process / able to help with getting that setup?
I'd also point out (although I suspect you may already be aware but just in case) that if you have cargo on these computers you can also use cargo install to update.

Hi there @teunvink,
I must confess I wasn't aware of PPA before, I had though that the recommended way of packing software for Debian/Ubuntu was Snap and Deb files? Though I am far from an expert on that! But in any case, I would like for Trippy to be available in as many places as possible and do not object to adding a PPA.
I spent a little time reading up on it and eventually found this guide for Rust and it seems, complicated. Would you be able to guide us through the process of creating this for Trippy? if not do you have any contacts who could?
I created a placeholder for Trippy in launchpad.net for now.
Ideally this PPA package would be owned and maintained by a package maintainer closer to the Debian/Ubuntu universe than me. Better yet, what would be involved in making Trippy available as an official package in Debian/Ubuntu such that the PPA is not needed?
As for a stable link, I'm less keen on this as I wouldn't want to commit to never again changing urls, directory layouts, filenames etc. Also I do not own or control cli.rs
(it is a service provided by cli.rs) so I cannot make stability guarantees on their behalf.
Trippy releases are infrequent, of the order of quarterly, so I'd hope updating some config in ring (which looks like a really great!) every now and again wouldn't be to much of a burden?

You are correct that deb is the default package format for Debian and Ubuntu based setups. However, downloading and installing deb-files isn't the normal way to do it. Packages are either included in the default repository, or a PPA is provided as an endpoint where the developer publishes versions of the deb files.
I don't have any experience in hosting PPA's, but I'm happy to ask around if anyone is able to help out.

I know next to nothing about rust either, but maybe this is useful? https://blog.zhimingwang.org/packaging-rust-project-for-ubuntu-ppa#impatient

@teunvink it looks like you found the same guide I mentioned above (great minds think alike!)
Do let me know if you find someone who is able to own or assist with this and i'd be happy to work with them to get a PPA created.

@teunvink I was looking at another tool today and saw a way to get the latest version as part of their install script. I'm not sure something like that would be a temporary solution to the challenge that your facing. Let me know if it helps (mostly just curious but the PPA option would still be good if someone would want to take the lead on that).

I see another project setting up a PPA actually doesn't seem too bad other than key management. atuinsh/atuin#1497

Sadly, I haven't really found someone yet. Packaging go stuff seems to be a bit unpopular (at least with the people I am in contact with).
I found a small script we use in our Ansible repository to make a deb-repository to host the PPA's for our customized tools, you can see it here: https://github.com/NLNOG/ring-ansible/blob/master/roles/apt-repository/files/deb2repo.
Since you already have .deb's, making a repo out of them seems to be a small step (other than hosting it perhaps).
