Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your advice.
Added in /etc/apt/sources.list (by starting sudo thunar from a terminal):
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/developer-testing/ubuntu
karmic main
started Synaptics,
reloaded it
searched for Bibledit
and could update it from 3.8 to BE 4.0
and BE starts now.
I will use BE for some ordinary work (scrolling through the bible,
looking up references ....) and tive you feedback if I find something
not working.
One question (not directly related to BE).
In Synaptic/Settings/Repository/Other software, there are 3 entries
(active) with launchpad:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/ppa/ubuntu karmic main (Source
Code) and
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/developer-testing/ubuntu karmic main
Why are
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
not found in /etc/apt/sources.list
(there in only one path with launchpad, and this is
http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/developer-testing/ubuntu
karmic main)
Greetings
Wolfgang

Just compiling from source would probably work even in this case

Mixing packages and locally compiled versions is not a good idea, you
can end up with pieces from both installed at once, and that can lead
to strange hard-to-find bugs (I've seen this more with libraries than
with straight applications, but still... it's not a good approach to
have both present at once). If someone wants to take the "from
source" approach, it is best to fully remove (sudo apt-get purge
PACKAGENAME) the packaged version *before* installing a version from
locally compiled source. This is not Bibledit specific, it applies to
all packages.
Wolfgang: You are very welcome to become a tester of my recently
released Bibledit 4.0 packages, which are now in the Crosswire
Packaging Team "developer-testing" PPA. I posted a message about them
here on this list a few days ago:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bibledit-development/2009-12/msg00068.html
The line to add in /etc/apt/sources.list to "see" them would be
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pkgcrosswire/developer-testing/ubuntu
karmic main
(change "karmic" to match your Ubuntu version, if necessary!).
Once I hear from a couple of BE users that they have tried these test
4.0 packages, and they work fine, I'll put "even more official" 4.0
packages into the main Crosswire Packaging Team PPA, and at that point
everyone using "my" BE packages will then see those updates.
So far, no-one has actually let me know that they have tried these BE
4.0 packages. If no-one tries them, (because everyone is too busy/on
vacation/enjoying New Year celebrations/etc!) then I'll probably need
to do some more testing myself when I have a chance, and then "take a
risk" and put the packages into the main PPA anyway :)
