Well... I was looking for a place to ask, or propose this.
So, I have a little problem. I may talk a lot, but please be patient and read it all, if you want to understand me.
I never used Ubuntu before 2010. I did use Puppy Linux. The first thing that impressed me was the repositories, and the way of
getting software... It's just amazing...
(in the past, when my Windows was broken, I needed a day to install it back, to break my fingers pressing with mouse on the "next" button)
I use a lot 3D creation programs , and recently I found that beside Blender, which is a monster of 3D production, there are plenty of applications for doing that on Linux..and they are free. G3D, Wings 3D, Kerkythea, Meshlab, and so on..
But...here comes my problem:
Blender has a new version. Inkscape does. meshlab has critical updates. G3D and kerkythea and other even aren't present on repositories.
Why the heck I must pass trough the "Windows hell and pain in the ***" (TM) and installing them and making shorcuts(for binaries) or compiling from source??!?!
if Canonical doesn't provide updates for that software, then let that part of repository be comunity driven, so it will be update normally.
I know about ppa's but...i use some commands for getting the list of packages and installing them back...but I must add back the ppa's.
that was my point, and I hope it will be heard by someone, and Canonical will take the right decision.
A special message for Canonical: "In the Linux world, community counts, not business, or other stuff. Listen to the voice of community, otherwise, there are 300+ options from which to choose."
