Will the version in the Ubuntu repo get updated to 2.0.2?

[David R. Smith]

I recently updated to 14.04, and the version of git-cola in the official Ubuntu repo doesn't allow me to push or pull. This is bad. Thankfully, the version I pulled from github works nicely. I could edit the launcher so I can just launch that version from there instead of always having to cd to my git folder and execute ./git-cola/bin/git-cola/, but I'm lazy and would just like to be able to update to a working version.

14.04 is brand new so if you report this bug to ubuntu they may be
able to update.

Hi, since currently git-cola doesn't provide official APT software sources there are two proper way to do that:

• Request Ubuntu Backporters team to backport new version of git-cola to Ubuntu 14.04.
• Help git-cola on maintaining one official APT software source, using Launchpad Personal Package Archives service.

there's always a lazy way ;), don't install the git-cola provided by Ubuntu software sources, instead:

1. Remove the Ubuntu provided version using APT package management system's front-ends(if it's still installed)
2. Install it directly using recipes provided by git-cola's makefile(use the second command if you need git-cola to be system-wide accessible)
• (git-cola source root dir) $ make install install-doc install-html install-man
• (git-cola source root dir) # make install prefix=/usr/local install install-doc install-html install-man
  
3. Remember that this version git-cola won't be maintained by Ubuntu, you have to pull new version and do 2. manually.
