How do I "publish" a C++ program on linux?

[Guest]

nano main.cpp && g++ main.cpp && ./a.out

 

I lets say I've just used the above command to create, compile, and run the c++ program. What would I have to do so that people could install my program through aptitude, pacman, yaourt, yum, rpm etc?

Just put it on the internet...?

 

Maybe compile it into .DEB or .RPM?

The second part, how would I do that?

Just g++ main.cpp -o main.deb?

 

Also where on the internet should I put it?

You can upload it to github and if it catches the community's attention it will eventually be included in the official repositories. Or, you could make your own repository, but people would still have to specifically install that repository to use it.

How would I go about making my own? I doubt anything I would make would interest anyone lol

If you are running Arch then put it in the AUR.

There are also tons of programs that just compile from Github directly in there.
