sorry, the naming is a bit confusing: i want to upgrade the "quickly" package. 
Not that I  want to quickly upgrade.

I have to say finding information on Quickly is very difficult due to the name.

I can't see where it came up, but are you looking at upgrading the
whole system (i.e. from Oneiric to Precise) or some individual
component?

For the whole OS, Oneiric (11.10) to Precise (12.04) is supported, as is
Karmic (10.04) 10.04 to Precise (since upgrades between consecutive
normal releases are supported, and so are releases between consecutive
LTS release, and Precise is an LTS).

If you're running something else, the supported path is to iterate
through each release (so, for example, upgrade from 11.04 -> 11.10 th3n
11.10 -> 12.04).

There is a reddit channel for suggestions and you can make it appear on 
software centre as expensive as you like. I'm trying to do something but 
failing to even the simplest program due to lack of concentration. But I'll 
keep trying.  Workshops are  great! 

Since the subject came up. If i was using oneric (or older) and i wanted to 
update quickly to the latest and greatest... Is there a "set a source" approach 
or would compiling it be the only opton? --
