Maybe Christof , thank you

I'm downloading the repository stuff that gbWilly made (a pretty cool
gitlab page with lots of info/help
https://gitlab.com/gbWilly/gambas3-debian-repository

My plan is to get an auto-updating debian repository set up at gambas.one
that anyone can use as easy as the launchpad for ubuntu method.

Then maybe think about doing the same for suse/archlinux/fedora
