What OS did you write the script for? If it's Linux, is it specific to a certain distribution / do you have a preference?
With Linux (can't say anything about other Unices) you have 2 options:
- find a maintainer that takes care of the packaging
- maintain the package yourself
If you go with 2. (which is usually the case with new software), learn the packaging format and common layout for your chosen distribution. Then, submit it to said distribution for a review. If the packaging team decides that your package is stable enough, it might get included in the next release.
If you want to stay independent, you'll have to do that yourself. However, that will probably also mean no automatic updates, since setting up your own repository isn't really trivial.
