more background info https://blog.herokuapp.com/evolution-of-heroku-cli-2008-2017 Their version 6, started with Ruby, then go/node, then pure node. https://github.com/heroku/cli "This is the next generation Node-based Heroku CLI. The goals of this project were to make plugins more flexible, remove Ruby as a runtime dependency, and make the CLI faster. [...] It has identical functionality to the old Ruby CLI."

All the learning and process needed to create Debian packages has been a big motivator for us to make snap packaging simple and quick. Have a look at the Heroku CLI snap, for example: https://github.com/heroku/cli/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yam... You can quickly piece together a snapcraft.yaml, push it to GitHub, and turn on auto builds and publication (https://build.snapcraft.io). Then anyone can install your package with a single command - no PPA/repo needed.
