Mono:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mono-ubuntu/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

I have to ask... who the hell are these people? We've *never* heard of or from them within the Debian Mono Group. They certainly don't maintain Mono in Ubuntu as their PPA claims (I do!)

[itreius]

Usually it's mozilla-daily (to get the latest beta of firefox, be it firefox-3.5 or firefox-3.6), and chromium-browser.

As I remember the effort was start with the sole purpose of providing 2.0 for Intrepid. Perhaps though it should carry some bigger warnings such as "not DMG approved"

Call me ignorant but what are PPAs?

Call me ignorant but what are PPAs?

Personal Package Archives. Typically a PPA would be used by developers or maintainers of a given application to ensure that users have the latest version (or to do pre SRU testing of fixes). E.g. if you look at an application like Banshee, it is very likely that it will have important bugfixes and feature updates in the lifetime of an Ubuntu release but policy does not easily allow to push these to the stable repos. Since upstream is only interested in supporting thr latest release this poses a problem. PPAs are a way to address this.

Now at their base, they are a some what bad idea as well as a good one. It is easy to cause a lot of problems this way but it is also a powerful tool to let users and developer do important testing and upgrades.

Naturally they do no big favors to QA which is a problem.
