Packaging for Debian-based Linux distribution #1164

Currently, when running a Debian-based Linux distribution (Ubuntu in my case), I have 2 choices to install sass:

  • download the compiled executable manually from github releases, and update it manually again each time there is a release if I want to stay uptodate
  • use the slower JS executable install through npm install -g sass, which can then be updated easily with npm update -g whenever I want (still manual, but could be handled by a cron...)

On macOS, there is a way to use homebrew which will then install update whenever you install updates for your homebrew packages, without requiring thinking about sass explicitly when dealing with updates.
It would be great if a similar auto-update experience could be provided for Linux users by providing an APT repository.

A quick search gave me these resources:

These could easily be automated in the CI (once it works again, see #1163).

Is there any interest in providing this ?
