That has the following problems: 1. It is for Buster. At least one person on these mailing lists has tried to load it up under Ubuntu 18.10 and ran into a slew of dependency problems. 2. It is in the mainstream and won't make it to the releasable public for months. 3. There is no "daily" for those who want to live on the bleeding edge. I have no interest in feeding into the mainline of major distributions. In fact, I can compile the source for my own utilization on my Ubuntu 18.04 box. However, there are some who would like to have the more recent releases available on their distro without having to compile the source. If possible, I would like to build a debian style package that is available for the older distros. I see interest for two such packages that could be made available via a ppa. 1. The latest general release such as 3.4. Available for any distro rather than just Buster. 2. A "daily" or "weekly" build of the latest set of patches to that release. This morning (USA-Pacific Coast), there have been 38 commits since 3.4. Others, in addition to myself, may have interest in having those available.
