New version for Ubuntu 24.04

[teejee2008]

Please release a new version with the latest changes. Anyone trying to install the DEB file from the current release, or by running the installation command mentioned in README will get an error on Noble.

Yes the current version of deb-get in the repo fully supports Ubuntu 24.04. There is no change required to the code. All that is needed is to package a new release, so that people can install it. As it stands currently, users need to clone the repo and install it manually, instead of just downloading the DEB from release page. Running the command mentioned in README also doesn't work since it downloads the version from the Release page.

Here's a simple bash script to install it from the repo in case someone needs it.

As a temporary workaround, I did the following (till they officially do a new release):

# download repo
$ git clone https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get.git

# start up a container to follow their publishing step (while in root of repo)
$ podman container run --rm -it -v "${PWD}":/app -w /app docker.io/ubuntu:24.04

Then follow their build & release workflow but change the dch command to be something like -999 instead of -1 (since I don't think they'll use that): dch -v "${REL_VER}-999" --distribution=unstable "New upstream release.".

Then I could install it on my machine, current commit is: ce5f0c2

Is there an ETA for the next release? I tried the script shared by @teejee2008, but it didn't work for me for some reason. I don't feel like troubleshooting it, so I'll just wait for a new version to be released.
