Full Version: Linux version confusion: stable/svn/live alpha

I am a little confused with all the versions. I instaled XBMC on Ubuntu a few weeks ago using a script from Virtualdanny. It installed latest stable which at that time was 9.04 from may.

By changing the script I was able to update to latest SVN, which I did twice. I uncommented the lines in the script below with svn in it, and commented the other two.

Recently Live Alpha2 was released. Apart from being a bootable cd, I wonder if alpha2 is the same as a specific svn build here? If I want to update now (I have some small bugs still) should I get the Alpha2 which is all the rave now, or just once more update to latest svn?

Somehow I see a lot of posts of high cpu usage on latest svn, and a lot of positive comments on alpha2 so that's why in my mind they look like two different products.

Code:
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ jaunty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list
echo deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ jaunty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xbmc-addons/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list

echo '#'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list
echo '#'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list
SVN Packages not maintained atm because new stable version coming and Devs on the bug hunt session Smile

Alpha2 newer then SVN..

You need Jaunty repo for alpha2 and comming stable release.
