Provide a .deb package

[sbstn87]

Hi,

can you provide a .deb package for an easy installation on Debian based distros, including various flavors of Ubuntu and Mint?

I can look into that, but more likely I would be doing the MPR (Debian User Repository) package for it: https://mpr.makedeb.org/

Maybe I am wrong, but MPR looks unmaintained.

Having a .deb package would make it possible to add flix-cli to deb-get at some point:

@sbstn87 you can try it now: https://github.com/DemonKingSwarn/flix-cli/releases/tag/v1.8.0

and make sure to tell me if that works :)

I tried to install it, but I got this error:

Solving dependencies... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

   Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:

      but none of the choices are installable:
      [no choices]

I am on Debian 13 (stable). I suppose perhaps those dependencies could be added to the package?
