<p>I have an Open Source app and I currently only post the binary for the Windows build. At this point Linux users have to get the source and compile it. Is there a standard way for posting a Linux binary? </p>

<p>My app is in c / c++ and compiled with gcc, the only external Linux code I use is X Windows and CUPS.</p>

The most common way would be to package it in a
.rpm file
for
RedHat
-based distros like
Fedora
, or a
.deb file
for
Debian
-based distros like
Ubuntu
.
