After following the instructions here, maverick still thinks the most up-to-date version of filezilla is 3.3.3?
Same issue here. While I can see the PPA entry in my software repository, only 3.3.3 is available.
Thanks!!! worked like a charm! im now on 3.5.1! 🙂
Looks good, it says:
‘filezilla, 3.6.0.2-1u1~ppa1, Nate Muench (Mink) (2012-12-09)’
&& also the maintainer is a relatively long-time member, from 2008-11-07 and the karma is high: 1349 atm., but everyone (different blogs and web sites) is always suggesting different people (PPAs) for different stuff which makes it kind of hard to know what to *trust*
Would be nice, if he was a member of like an official team and/or had a real photo of himself and/or kept more than just keys in his info (there are many possibilities, the other day I contacted a dev on Freenode: finding the contact information listed in his PPA)
^^ or something like that, you know what I mean; especially when it comes to sensitive stuff and software, but really, it can be with pretty much anything.
Making/building things aren’t always possible. Tnx for the article!..:)
