Public bug reported: In addremove.html and addremove-sources.html (16.10 help) the "Add a Personal Package Archive (PPA)" section is described as follows "Add PPAs to help test pre-release or specialty software". This description is inaccurate since a PPA is just a way of distributing software, it doesn't have to be used for distributing software in order for it to be tested and the software distributed doesn't have to be "pre-release or specialty".
I suggest we simply change the description to something like this "Add PPAs to extend the software sources Ubuntu uses for installation and upgrades". ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628706 Title: Revise PPA description?
