Cannot find repository with Bombono-dvd 1.2 on it.

Asked by Thomas E. Reed

When I went to https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bombono-dvd, there were these links:

    xenial (16.04LTS) (graphics): DVD authoring program with nice and clean GUI [universe]
    1.2.2-0ubuntu8: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 powerpc ppc64el
    bionic (18.04LTS) (graphics): DVD authoring program with nice and clean GUI [universe]
    1.2.2-0ubuntu16: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el s390x

I clicked on the xenial link, and I received a text file containing a PGP encoded file with information about the program. But there's no information about what repository contains the files, or how to download the program.

I've searched in the Linux Mint software manager and the Synaptic Package Manager, and there is no information about the program. If I knew the repository, I believe I could download and install the program. Here's the file:

Incidentally, on the main web site for the program - www.bombono.org - there are descriptions of the various versions of the program, but no download links. The few active links just reload the descriptions of the programs. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a dead or abandoned project, even though the most recent update was dated Octobor 2020.

Another thing:, if it is necessary for me to compile the program from the developer's source code, this will be an adventure into the unknown for me. I hope he, or some kind soul, has already compiled Bmbono in a working form. If not, I'll find some kind of huge book to learn how to compile code.

Thank you for your help.
