[Qgis-developer] Installing the Qgis 1.0.2 package for Ubuntu

[Joseph Reeves]

Hi Henri,

I thin you were right with your original email - Karmic releases don't
seem to be there.

PPAs are "Private Package Archives" - basically software that isn't in
the main Ubuntu repositories, Usually this represents development
releases, or software otherwise not suited to being distributed with
Ubuntu.

In Ubuntu you can click System - Administration - Software Sources

Enter your password when prompted

Click the Other Software tab and hit the Add... button.

Paste in:

ppa:qgis/stable

And click Add Source. Your PC will then download a list of software
available to you - this now includes QGIS. From the terminal you could
run:

sudo apt-get install qgis

or you could look for the app in the new Ubuntu Software Centre.

However... When I did the above my souftware sources refreshed and I was told:

Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/stable/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz
 404  Not Found

Looking at the server it seems that karmic is missing:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/qgis/stable/ubuntu/dists/

So yes, back to your original question, can the 9.04 sources be used
instead? Sorry, I don't know the answer to that one.

Cheers, Joseph
