[Feature]: Provide repositories for popular Linux distributives: Ubuntu PPA, OpenSUSE OBS, etc

[MurzNN]

Summary

To simplify installing and updating XerahS on different Linux systems, would be great to provide repositories with the latest version of the package:

• Ubuntu: PPA (Personal Package Archive)
• Arch Linux: AUR (Arch User Repository)
• Fedora: COPR (Cool Other Package Repo)
• OpenSUSE: OBS (Open Build Service)

Use Case

Now, users are able to install the package for Linux manually: go to the GitHub page, download the latest version of the package, install it.

But, when it come to updates, this approach does not provide any automated updating process. To automate updating for Linux systems, developers usually provide the auto-updated repositories.

Benefit

Users will be able to update the package using the standard system update process, without any manual steps.

Actually, OpenSUSE OBS (Open Build Service) can provide repositories for all popular Linux distros at once, so, using it we can cover almost everything at once.

Recommendation: keep open.

Evidence checked in this run: current develop already builds Linux .deb and .rpm artifacts, has Flatpak manifest and release workflow support, includes local Arch packaging support, and the README points users to the community xerahs-git AUR package.

Remaining gap: I did not find first-party PPA, COPR, or Open Build Service publication support in the checkout. This is related to #68 and the closed Flatpak packaging request #246, but it is broader than either because it asks for distro repository publication and update channels. Next step: decide whether OBS should become the canonical Linux repo path or whether PPA/COPR/OBS should be tracked as separate packaging follow-ups.

Re-checked against current develop (v0.23.64–v0.23.67). Confirming prior review stands.

Current develop ships .deb and .rpm Linux artifacts, Flatpak manifest, Arch local packaging, and README points to community xerahs-git AUR. No first-party PPA, COPR, or OBS repository publication found. This is the same tracking gap as #68 but for Linux distro update channels. Keep both open; decide whether OBS should be canonical or whether PPA/COPR/OBS warrant separate narrower issues.

Re-checked against current develop. Latest public release is v0.22.256.

Current develop ships .deb and .rpm Linux artifacts, Flatpak manifest (not yet publicly available per #68), Arch local packaging, and README points to community xerahs-git AUR. No first-party PPA, COPR, or OBS repository publication found. Latest release is still v0.22.x with develop at v0.23.x.

Recommendation: keep #253 open as the Linux distro repository publication tracker. Related to #68 (Windows package managers) and #246 (Flatpak, closed). Decide whether OBS should be the canonical Linux repo path or whether PPA/COPR/OBS warrant narrower closure criteria.
