Description

Hi,

Installing Awesome on Ubuntu right now requires users to build awesome themselves. That can be a hindrance for some users. Can we perhaps start distributing pre-built packages?

I am willing to submit a PR for this change, if it's something that the core maintainers and users might want.

Cheers! :beers:
