Debian Package distribution

[JSchoreels]

Hello there,

Debian-Like system would benefits a lot to have a Debian Package distrubtion of Corretto 8 !

The ideal would be a PPA to add in our apt source lists in Ubuntu, to have updates handled by apt :) I can split that feature request in two (one for a .DEB, another for the PPA) if it's more convenient for you. See #29

Hi.

We plan to have Ubuntu support in Q1 of 2019. Can I ask what version you are using?

[JSchoreels]

XUbuntu 18.04, Kernel 4.15/4.17 on amd64 architecture !

In the meantime one can do the following with more or less success : https://stackoverflow.com/a/53502207/48136

I'm assigning this issue to the General Availability milestone, since we are planning to deliver .debs, as I said earlier. @JSchoreels feel free to open a different issue for PPA since that is a different item that isn't planned for now.

Right, I've created #29 and soft-removed the line from my issue description.

Thank you for the feedback about the milestone !

With the release of Corretto8 preview2 we now have a deb package on the downloads page.

We have tested them on Debian and Ubuntu.
