Thanks! When trying to upgrade from either the SVN PPA or the Hardy PPA I always am told that xbmc and xbmc-common on Ubuntu Hardy, just after doing a worldwide apt-get update then apt-get upgrade.

Any insight on how to upgrade to this build?

I don't get what you mean ... :/

Anyway, A bug has been discovered in alpha3. You might not want to install it. I am waiting for a decision of the team to release a new version.

The problem, I believe, is only with release executables - does PPA use release binaries?

Cheers,
Jonathan

PPA is basically a way to release precompiled stuffs. It's like a "./configure, make, make install". The binary and the source code used to compile are on the PPA.
When I installed the PPA version on my machine, I got a segfault in the xbmc.bin.

Any news about this? Seems(at least to me) like that should be an easy decision? Quite a few people can´t run the alpha 3 at all.

Will there be a fixed version on the PPA, or should we build our own instead?

Doh! Sure wish I'd seen this before I updated and then posted a bunch of questions asking for help.

Just a thought from a newb; if there's a problem with the last PPA might it not be prudent to remove it and put beta 2 back up until a decisions been made on how to move forward?

I don't suppose there's an easy way to go back to beta 2 at this point?

PPA version updated . The new alpha 3 version is called 8.10 alpha 3 (codename Atlantis ) .
I have personally tested that it runs now :-)

Have fun
