Issue details

right now the step-cli and step-ca packages you're providing are only available from the github release pages, which is great for trying out the software, but rather inconvenient if one wants to automate installations without having to provide the package hosting themselves.

Why is this needed?

an ability to just add an apt source instead of playing with ever-changing urls to the downloads goes a long way towards convenience when one tries to automate things and yet does not need all the features of your commercial offering.

@jubalfh take a look at a snippet of the automation script I'm using to automate the installation as a workaround while there is no official deb repository.

This can probably be closed, there are repos for both DEB and RPM available: https://smallstep.com/docs/step-cli/installation/#debianubuntu

Thanks @p3lim, those packages indeed do exist for the CLI and CA 🙂
