Is there any way to tell if the following PPAs are going to support Ubuntu 13.04:
1. Ubuntu Tweak
2. Last.FM
3. HandBrake [daily snapshots]
4. ZRAM
They all supported Ubuntu 12.10 and earlier versions in the past so I'm hoping that they'll support 13.04 and future versions for quite some time. I'm not sure if Ubuntu Tweak will continue to be available for newer interim or LTS releases due to the developer's feelings toward Canonical and the future direction of Ubuntu though. We shall see.
Do I have to wait until April 25th to add these PPAs and do a sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, and sudo dist-upgrade to get the latest packages for Ubuntu Tweak, HandBrake, Last.FM, and ZRAM? Is there any way to tell if they'll be available for the release candidate?
Your apt-get update and apt-get upgrade will keep you updated. No need to do anything else.
Ubuntu is not 'Officially" Released yet. So the ppa's will not be updated until it is released. Search launchpad to see if you have 'em for 13.04.
I don't know about other applications but for Ubuntu-tweak stable you can add the following ppa:
.
But seriously, you don't need Ubuntu-Tweak. We can do all those tweaks with 'dconf-editor' and 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. If you are looking for some specific tweaks, then we can help.
