#2780: Creation of a Debian repository

---------------------------+-----------------------
 As part of the OSGeo GSoC 2022 I will be publishing very shortly working
 and usable libnode packets with a clear C/C++ API.
 This new API is pending a merge in Node.js - whether this will go through
 or not is still not clear - but even if it goes through - there still
 won't be libnode repository. The libnode package in most Linux distros is
 simply unusable in its current form. These packages are meant to be the
 Nodesource repositories equivalent for embedding Node.js in C/C++.

 As this is an OSGeo project, these packages should probably be hosted by
 OSGeo too.

 A debian repository is nothing more than an FTP or HTTP accessible
 directory tree with a well-known structure. There exists an utility in
 Debian/Ubuntu (reprepro) that takes as input new packets and sorts them
 into the tree. If no one is inclined to manage this repo, I am willing to
 volunteer installing it.
