What's a PPA? (Google is retuning too many hits that don't mean anything in this context)


I forget what the acronym actually stands for, but they're basically add-on repositories for specialist packages. In this case, there's a PPA maintained for the latest stable build of Banshee for Ubuntu.

Hope that helps.


PPA = Personal Package Archive
