Provide Ubuntu Repository for Dash Core

[Nutomic]

It seems like there is currently no way for Dash on Ubuntu to have automatic updates. It would be great if you could create a repository, so that the project can be easily updated. Ideally, the repository would also install a systemd configuration to run Dash in the background.

For example, here are some repositories for Bitcoin:
https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin
https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin-unlimited/+archive/ubuntu/bu-ppa
https://launchpad.net/~bitcoinclassic/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoinclassic

I just realized that there's already a ppa here. Maybe that could be added to the download links on dash.org?

I don't think that PPA is actually used, as the last update that I see there is from almost a year ago, and the most recent Dash version was released in April 2017.

I'll update the ppa till end of this week - I am maintainer of it, but it slipped through somehow.

[Nutomic]

Are you updating the ppa manually? It should be possible to set it up so that new releases are pushed there automatically.

[PanderMusubi]

Yes, please automatically update the PPA to prevent users installing old version or assuming they get automated updates while they are not.

And please build for zesty 17.04 and artful 17.10.

Hey @schinzelh , do we still maintain this PPA? If so, should we engage our devops team in getting a plan to automate this?

[schinzelh]

Hi,

yes are still maintaining it - and i agree devops should take this over :)
