I'll use systemd because I used the Ubuntu maintainer's systemd ppa two or three years ago and I still have that url bookmarked. To get the regular systemd deb: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/systemd/ [ I've chosen the "de" repository given your email address. ] To get the ppa systemd deb (the ppa is called "pitti/systemd"): http://ppa.launchpad.net/pitti/systemd/ubuntu/ > I onlu need the archives of the complete program. Like Blender the > archive is "all inclusive" ... : Make sure that the source package isn't split up into more than one deb. If you look at the systemd example above, you'll find many "lib..." debs as well as "systemd..." and "udev..." debs. Rather than grabbing a "deb", unpacking it, and dropping its components into "/usr/local/", you might want to look into using Ubuntu's snap that allows you to install self-contained applications in the same way that Android and iOS do. [ I have no idea whether snap is available on Gentoo or whether your app is packaged as a snap. ]
