Yeah I do. Sorry Steve :-).
Ubuntu seriously lags behind (0.18), as unfortunatly
seems to be the
norm with many packages I would be interested in.
(Btw: Does anyone know the smoothest way to upgrade Ubuntu Breezy to
Debian testing? I'd like to get rid of U. on my laptop soon and run a
Real Programmer's Debian there as on my other machines.)
I'm running Breezy too, and I just compiled the liblo package from
Dapper and installed that.
What you do is:
- Go to your local Ubuntu mirror site.
- Find /ubuntu/pool/universe/libl/liblo/
- Grab the three files:
liblo_0.22-1.dsc
liblo_0.22-1.diff.gz
liblo_0.22.orig.tar.gz
- Then do:
dpkg-source -x liblo_0.22-1.dsc
cd liblo-0.22/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i liblo*.deb
And you're done. Probably a bit easier than converting your machine
to Debian testing :-).
