Hi Antonio,

1. Making Gambas a dependency is already done when the .deb package is
made. 
2. When you make your .deb package in 3.4.2, it will not install on a
distro with 3.1.1 in official repository

So, Charlie first wants to add a non official repository with a more
recent Gambas version 3.4.2, so that application can meet dependencies
and will install.


This is a problem on Debain/Ubuntu based distros as official repos are
stuch at Gambas 3.1.1
PPA Kendek offers non official 3.4.2 repo for Ubuntu based distros.
Debian has no updated non official repo.

If that where possible, that would be great as that would indeed solve a
problem on Ubuntu based distros and would make distribution of apps
possible.
