Re: Hold to install latest version of Meld on Ubuntu 10.04?

[Michael Tunnell <m michaeltunnell com>]

I'd suggest upgrading your version of Ubuntu but actually now is perfect timing for that because Ubuntu MATE just released 14.04 about a week or two ago. Ubuntu MATE is the MATE desktop environment on Ubuntu and the 14.04 release is the LTS.

MATE is essentially an updated version of GNOME 2 and GTK2 which is what Ubuntu 10.04 was using. This means that if you upgraded to Ubuntu MATE 14.04 LTS then your computer would still function exactly the same but also have up to date packages of most applications and support for the latest PPAs.

Important Note: there isn't a direct update path from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu MATE 14.04 because they are quite different at the core, you will need to make backups of your files and backups of your home directory in order to ensure you don't lose any data.

Trying out the current version

One of Meld's lesser-known features is that it's easy to run without installing it. This is great for just trying out the current version, or for checking to see whether your pet bug has been fixed yet. Just get a copy of the source code from Git by opening a terminal and typing:

git clone https://git.gnome.org/browse/meld

From the directory you cloned into, run:
bin/meld

Hi

 

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and have installed Meld 1.3.0 using :

 

sudo apt-get install meld

 

I would like to use a more recent version of Meld. How can I do so on Ubuntu 10.04?

 

Best regards

 

David
