Re: [orca-list] Orca master

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

Related question, and probably asked a million times. But is there a PPA 
or some way to install released (for example 3.3X) in an Ubuntu install 
easily? Yes I know the LTS ships with the version at a specific date, 
but I was wondering if I could, for example, put the latest released 
version in 18.04, without going through the repo....or is it simply 
easier to just stick with using the master branch?
