A "deb" file, which you can expand with "ar" (no need to install "dpkg"). |

I'll use systemd because I used the Ubuntu maintainer's systemd ppa |
| 15 |
two or three years ago and I still have that url bookmarked. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
To get the regular systemd deb: |

|
| 19 |
http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/systemd/ |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
[ I've chosen the "de" repository given your email address. ] |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
To get the ppa systemd deb (the ppa is called "pitti/systemd"): |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pitti/systemd/ubuntu/ |

Make sure that the source package isn't split up into more than one |
| 32 |
deb. If you look at the systemd example above, you'll find many |
| 33 |
"lib..." debs as well as "systemd..." and "udev..." debs. |

Rather than grabbing a "deb", unpacking it, and dropping its |
| 39 |
components into "/usr/local/", you might want to look into using |
| 40 |
Ubuntu's snap that allows you to install self-contained applications |
| 41 |
in the same way that Android and iOS do. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
[ I have no idea whether snap is available on Gentoo or whether your |
| 44 |
app is packaged as a snap. ] |
