Ok - I attempted to go through the process of making a PPA. It is more complicated than I thought so I would need help as I do not have much band width to take this on. Anyone interested in working on it?
Not a PPA, but I may provide a repo (that works the same as a PPA to download and install .deb packages) to install it on Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives (LinuxMint included) soon:
If you install it on LinuxMint, please provide feedback in that thread, like if it worked or not. Thanks!
