Summary0012520: Ubuntu-repositories
DescriptionHello!
Can you tell me why the repositories for Ubuntu are not maintained any more? Since some libraries have changed in the meantime, it's getting more and more difficult to install a previous version. The supported Ubuntu-Version in the repositories is two versions behind (13.04, Raring); current is 14.04 (Trusty).
Greetings,
Andreas

Hi Andreas, the package builder for Ubuntu has been busy. We are all volunteers.

In the mean time, if you are interested, Jluc has created a script for Ubuntu to compile bleeding edge builds. There is nothing scary about them. You most likely will need to backup any SLA files before you use it.

Feel free to come to Freenode #scribus to troubleshoot

Reminder: this is an experiemental build. and may not work with most commercial printers. nevertheless many scribus power-users use it. If you have issues you can always file bugs at bugs.scribus.net

Hi! Thanks for your quick answer. I understand about being all volunteers - I live that kind of madness myself. :-)
Still, bleeding edge builds are no option for me since we use Scribus (voluntarily, for our church paper) on a distributed teamwork basis where I'm working with Linux and the others use Windows. Which is basically, I think, an ideal scenario for using Scribus.
So it would really be nice if there was an Ubuntu version to match the current stable Windows build - I'd hate to switch to Windows just to be able to use a fresh, stable Scribus.

15.04 has at least 1.4.4, and the PPA works again now.
