That is good news, now lets hope they where clever enough to go for 3.1
or 3.1.1 version and not 3.0, as 3.1 and higher applications will not
run on 3.0.

Having 3.0 it the official repo is of little use when distributing
Gambas 3.1. or higher applications using .deb files.

Putting Gambas 3.0 in the Debian repo would actually be a waste of time
and space IMHO and I would still not be able to distribute .deb files to
end users unless I refer the end users to the PPA of Kendek and explain
them how to add PPA and all (something end users should not need to do)

Just wait and see I guess,
