I think that most people will be searching via Synaptic. I think there should be an option in the default installation of Ubuntu, such that when you search for 'blender' or any other package that is available via a backport repository, Synaptic offers the ability to right-click the package name and say 'Install the bleeding-edge version' or something similar. I think only tech-savvy guys will utilize this feature, and the word 'bleeding-edge' will imply that it could be dangerous. You should not have the mention the word 'backports' to the end user as this is a term unknown to those unfamiliar with software development... -- Kristian Erik Hermansen -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
