Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee-by-default in Ubuntu talk - happening now

[shawn bright <nephish gmail com>]

Forgive me, but where can i find the version 1.50 ?
the link i saw was for 1.3.2

I am running ubuntu 9.04 and excited enough about banshee to run a dev version.
So, any links to a deb or PPA would be great.

thanks

shawn
