Thanks for the suggestion, but we aren't going to do this. The reason is that PPAs are for software development and testing and have no oversight for safety. If you find a PPA, it should be because either you created it yourself, or someone you trust told you about it.
If you want to publish an application outside of the Ubuntu archive, that's what <https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/> is for. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174449 Title: apt should be able to search ppa packages in launchpad Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: apt Wishlist: As a provider of gnome-do (https://edge.launchpad.net/gc) via a ppa in LP it would be awesome if users could do apt-cache search gnome-do and apt would search LP for packages once the main..universe came up empty. Then if users chose to install it apt could auto-add the ppa repository and download the package for the user.
