BleachBit

PPA for BleachBit

Asked by Kevin Vesga

It would be nice if BleachBit had its own (official) PPA here on Launchpad. This would make updating easier and it lets you install/update BleachBit using your package manager rather than having to always download DEB files. Would this be possible?

Another reason is more selfish. I make a miniscule income from people visiting the BleachBit web site.

Indeed. Can we have a PPA? Thanks

I have bleachbit on my PPA - it's not alone, but the packages included in that PPA are stable.
I can't promise much about always being up to date, but this is it:
https://launchpad.net/~medigeek/+archive/ppa/+packages

I backport the packages based on the Debian ones:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bleachbit.html

Apologies for my ignorance, but what are the syntax for adding your repository to my list, and more important, where is the public key for it?

@klausner - you do not want to use Radevic's PPA. The BleachBit packages are severely outdated.

For now its best to just grab the DEB files from the BleachBit website.

True :) I have put that in the ppa description: https://launchpad.net/~medigeek/+archive/ppa/
