I noticed that pdfsam was up to version 2.10 and the current ubuntu version is 1.1.3. There are quite a few changes. While it is fairly easy to download the zip archive from pdfsam.org and either run the jar file, or sudo copy the new files overtop of the old ones, I put together a DEB file which seems to work fine (basically took the old DEB, and replaced the files, edited the control file).
I'd like to put this somewhere to share with others until the newer one is officially available, but was a bit uncertain about putting it on my own website, as I don't know what kind of traffic it will generate.
So I tried setting up a PPA area on launchpad, but quickly got bogged down with dput, gpg, dbuild, etc. I don't have a changes.log, and couldn't understand what else they were talking about.
Anyone have any other suggestions? Should I just attach the DEB as a ZIP to this thread? It is about 12.4mb...
