Infrastructure

The task here is to add repositories from the RPM/DEB packages that are currently available. Ubuntu/Debian with DEB (APT), and Fedora/RHEL/SuSE with RPM (YUM/DNF/Zypper) will be candidates.

MAR-based updater will be activated for Windows, but for Linux, RPM/DEB based repositories will be good alternatives. This was discussed in the ESC call a few days ago:

Creating meta package(s) might be needed to ease the installation, and also categorize the packages.

One possible issue is around signatures for the packages. Currently, only the package tarball is signed, which might not be enough.
