I am basically curious in general do you recommend your ppa or the official version of the package? Currently your PPA is at 3.1.20 which does not exist for 12.04 but does exist in 12.10 so theoretically it is also possible to "just" pull that package from 12.10 and install it on the older Ubuntu's (or in Debian pull it from sid and install on stable/testing) Also for which versions is it going to be harder to build? Is even backporting to 12.04 (the current LTS and latest release for another 1-2 weeks) going to be hard? Or is it just the older versions? Thanks for all your great work, Eli
