This is a good thing, but will this programs and others be updated to
the newest version or have we still to wait half a year for the next
version of ubuntu?
I usually want to have only certain applications updated beyond the
versions available in the Ubuntu repositories, almost always because of
a new feature or bug fix that has been added. I don't care about the
rest of the software; in fact, I would prefer the other programs to
remain as stable as possible.
What would be ideal, IMO, would be a check box in the software center
for each application that would say something like: "Always update to
the newest program version available (may be less stable)."
I don't know how this would work under the hood (selective access to the
backports repository, perhaps), but it would make life much easier for
the person who absolutely must have the latest version of Ardour or
GIMP, and would help discourage people from adding potentially dangerous
PPAs to their systems.
