It seems that GC is a very popular accounting program, and Ubuntu/Linux is a very popular Operating System, yet when there is an upgrade in GC, I cannot find a straightforward method of updating GC under Ubuntu/Linux.

I understand that there is a delay before the new version of GC is in the Ubuntu Software download system.  That is internal to Ubuntu.  But there are alternatives, such as an alternative repository and self compiling.  Oh yes, what about pre-compiled binaries like Windows and Mac?

Each could have clear concise instructions on how to perform the task.

One could direct the user with specific commands to go th the repository that gets the upgrade first.

A script could be written and published with copious comments, testing for dependencies, loading them, doing a security check of the downloaded files, compiling and testing.

Google has not turned out to be my friend, otherwise I would not be writing this.  There are articles years old, no install scripts, no suggestions of repositories with instructions.

Feel free to prove me wrong, I have spent a couple of hours searching with many selected key words,

John
