I made a script for debian/raspbian. (hopefully attached)
what it does...
Lets you select Stable or Daily build. (default is Daily)
Lets you select amd64 or armhf (default if amd64)
Reads launchpad page and gets latest PPA path.
Makes a folder in $HOME and downloads all the packages into it.

So far so good but now the problem...
I tried to run *dpkg -i -R /sourcefolder*
It cannot install.  mostly the packages complain that other gambas packages
have not been installed yet.

I Need to now if there is a specific order that the packages need to be
installed in.
and if there is a way to get dpkg to auto install any other missing
dependencies.

or if apt might do better?
How does the PPA site do it for Ubuntu?
Any advice appreciated, hopefully not much else involved in making a
working PPA installer for debian based OSs.
