I have an open source application, and currently I am only sending a binary to build Windows. Currently, Linux users need to get the source code and compile it. Is there a standard way to publish a Linux binary?
My application is in c / C ++ and compiled with gcc, the only external Linux code I use is X Windows and CUPS.
The most common way would be to pack it in . rpm file for RedHat such as Fedora or . A deb file for Debian based on distributions like Ubuntu .
Find someone qualified in Debian and get their help setting up the build process to build .deb packages for Debian and Ubuntu.

I only use precompiled binaries from my distribution - never the other way around. If you can afford it, just collapse the tarball and add a line script so that people can create your project. To publish it, add it to sites such as: Freshmeat
Here is a great guide for creating a portable Linux binary.
