How to publish Debian packages on Bintray.

What are Debian packages?

Debian is a free operating system ( OS ) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an OS) along with thousands of software packages (also called 'packages') that are each distributed in a separate file. The packages contain the program code that does all the work, and are connected to each other in what is called a package dependency hierarchy . Each package depends on some smaller package or packages, which in turn depend on even smaller packages, and so on.

What is Bintray?

Its goal is to create a better world for application developers, by providing fast and secure hosting for open-source and private repositories, superior download bandwidth and availability, and exceptional support to ensure that it just works out of the box.
