A good example on how it's done is the LLVM project: https://apt.llvm.org |

I'm more inclined for OBS at the moment. It builds on multiple archs/distros for us and it provides the repositories needed for each distro, without us having to configure/maintain anything on our servers. |

FYI: this needs to be done after the release (or at least a pre-release) is done, because I need a nice and good URL for the src tarball to try things a bit. |

As some distros are already shipping rizin I'm going to postone this for 1.0.0. We'll see if it's going to be necessary. |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For now we don't build .deb packages and users are either expected to build the tool themselves or wait for distro maintainers to package and maintain Rizin. Hopefully distros will show interest soon in packaging Rizin.
Describe the solution you'd like
A lot of users run Ubuntu (either in container or VM or natively). PPA are a nice way to build and distribute packages to Ubuntu users, as it provides a repository they can add to their system and then install/update Rizin as they would with any other package.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Create the .deb file ourselves, like it was done in radare2, is probably error prone and it is not said it would work on all releases.
There is also OBS (from Suse) that seems to be able to create repositories for multiple distros.
