Hello Honza,
You done a good job. Though i have a small problem with your ppa:

[...]
Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release    
Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages
Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages
Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages
  404  Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/dolik-rce/upp/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Sorry I forgot to mention this... There is only repository for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx now. It's not a problem the package will work in any of the ubuntu versions (and in debian as well). Just change the corresponding line in your /etc/apt/sources.list to say lucid instead of karmic. I'll have a look if it's possible to make the repo universal...

With U++ i don't know what stable and nightly-builds means Laughing

the difference is just the time when they get released because there isn't the repository frozen for a release or a tag created for it so technically until now we had only one stable release 2008.1 but since all upp releases (even nightly build) are considered stable we're having stable releases under different names upp and upp-nightly.

Well, the difference would be in the frequency of updates. On slower machines (like mine Wink

) it could be pretty inconvenient to rebuild the core packages everyday, because the code got updated. With stable releases, this would happen only once every few weeks. On the other hand, with upp-nightly user could install the newest nightly build and than mark the package "hold", to stop the updates until next time he wants to update. But that needs some knowledge, that not every ubuntu user has. That is why I canẗ't decide Smile

To me, it seems the best to provide both, it'll be just one more call of the same script...

Best regards,
Honza
