Steam Login: PPA Available!

[ThOR27]

Hi people!

I've created a ppa to install and update steam-login, so it will be easier to keep track of newer versions of steam-login, and I will probably use this to distribute other projects I create for steam.

To add it, just type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thor27-gmail/steam-desktop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install steam-login

Thanks! I'll check it out in a minute. :D

A repo for such simple stuff a bit to much.

Why do we need repo for Steam .deb? Completly pointless. Also I bet we can expect steam .deb package in Ubuntu repos when it's out of beta.

I strongly advice to NOT USE random repositories like one above, for security reasons.

FYI it's not steam's deb. Steam-login is an option to choose Big Picture mode as DE at login. Just like there is 'Unity' option.

That is just a simple file no need to make a repo for such stuff.

My idea for this project is a bit bigger then steam-login. Anyway, with this repo is easier to keep track of updates. Also, github removed the "downloads" options from it. Then I decided to create this ppa, so I can have a safe place to put all packages.

2 reasons: updates and noob-friendliness
