Description

Could conan get an Ubuntu PPA package, for more automated installation and updates?

I see the pip and DEB packages, but a PPA would also be helpful.

Research direction
The issue requests an Ubuntu PPA for Conan. The repository currently provides pip and DEB packages. To proceed, need to understand the existing packaging scripts (likely in `conan/` or `build/`), discuss with maintainers about preferred approach (e.g., automated builds via GitHub Actions or Launchpad). Check if any linked PRs or comments from maintainers exist—currently none. The contributor should review the Conan packaging structure and propose a PPA configuration, possibly using tools like `debuild` or `launchpad upload`. Maintainer input is required to confirm acceptance and infrastructure details.
