Thanks for the replies.
Not up for hosting my own, lack the financial means atm.

I did test the bullseye repo for 3.18.4 and it works like a charm.
I have a repository setup now providing gambas 3.18.4 for i386 and amd64 for both debian 11 and 12.
I' ve got it hosted in my home intranet and at my work intranet, both working fine.

It is possible to host if on your own system if you install apache2 or on a old system you run as server on your local network.

I' m working on a tar with repo and instruction on how to set it up and will provide some download location for those interested.

Be aware this is the 3.18.4 version. I will be working on a 3.19.1 version of the repo as well.

Attached a screenshot of my synaptic package manager showing old vs new on debian 12 bookworm.
