azure-storage-explorer-deb

A .deb packaging template for Azure Storage Explorer

Motivation

It's annoying to get a tarball to install a program. You won't get menu items, properly registered app or anything on OS level with a simple tarball containing all the binaries. Microsoft hasn't been providing anything else than that, so I decided to create a .deb packaging script at least for my own use.
