I know that a PPA adds whatever packages it offers to the regular packages in the distro repositories. Except that, in my case I was previously using the Appimage version of 1.5.3, and Appimages don't use the repositories. Thus, after adding the PPA there was no popup announcing that an update was available. However, that was to be expected. After adding the PPA I did 'sudo apt update' to refresh the available packages, then looked in Synaptic package manager to see what was available. I selected 1.5.6-trunk which, according to the page which describes the PPA, I knew would be the daily builds. The daily builds do not change the packages that are available, so if there is a new build, it does not appear in the updates, and there will never be a popup. On launchpad.net-scribus I see that there have been a couple of new builds since I installed 1.5.6-trunk. When running Scribus 1.5.6svn there is an option to look for updates, which I have not yet used. But Scribus here has been shut down and re-launched several times, so it's possible that these new builds have been added and I am now alrready using a later build. I'm just trying to figure out how I can tell which build I am using. After all, if I encounter a bug and wish to report it I'd certainly need to specify which build I was using when I ran into it. ___ Scribus Mailing List: [email protected] Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
