Re: [LUG] Upgrading - or not ... (Debian)

 

Even though you're on Debian you could probably just safely use the PPA
- not normally recommended I know, but it's only a small single purpose
PPA so you should get away with it (I've just tried this on Debian
Squeeze and it worked fine).

What's a PPA? (Google is retuning too many hits that don't mean anything in this context)


I forget what the acronym actually stands for, but they're basically add-on repositories for specialist packages. In this case, there's a PPA maintained for the latest stable build of Banshee for Ubuntu.

https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/ppa

Hope that helps.
