> Wont you have the issue of dependencies
No. As we've already stated the package managers do this now. You are
thinking of the older dpkg and rpm command line methods which will complain
about dependencies.
VirtualBox and Chrome are two very popularly downloaded software packages
which come in .deb form. This is much easier than asking a user to install
a pgp and ppa URL.
The only way a PPA would make sense is if we created a shared account and
multiple people have access. As Vesa stated, they need to be updated and
this makes managing our download page more difficult because the PPAs
historically are not reliably updated.
Israel, would you be opposed to created an official PPA for lmms? It would
likely be a separate sign-on.
I've already created an inbox called "lmms.serv...@gmail.com" which was
initially created for granting upload access to my hosting (since disabled)
but if in agreement, this could be shared for our very own PPA although I
tend to believe the .DEB method is just plain better.
