Vscodium: Setup RPM/Deb packages repositories

[G-Ray]

Maybe consider using a service like https://packagecloud.io which is free for open source projects ?

@G-Ray sounds great. Can you outline what steps would need to happen for this to be set up? PRs are welcome if this requires build scripts to change.

I created an account on packagecloud and they enabled it as an OSS account. I will try to set up automatic upload of rpm/deb in the CI and will open a PR ;)

I'm personally not a huge fan of adding another third-party dependency (packagecloud), wouldn't it be sensible to host repositories directly on github (using github pages) like this?

[G-Ray]

@Lomanic I was not aware this was possible. Sure it would be better to not rely on another third-party dependency

[Lomanic]

Didn't know about that indeed

100 GB / month, max site size 1 GB… that makes it suboptimal for a repository (vscode/ium packages are huge). I might hack something on glitch.me.
