On I'm running Quantal, I've been wanting and waiting to solve a camera control problem and feel that the latest release of libgphoto2 (v2.5.1) will probably do the job.

But the version installed (the highest available) from the official repo is 2.4.x.

I'm imagining that if I do a manual upgrade and the available repo release catches up to 2.5.x at some point, that this will not be be a problem. Anyone confirm?

--------------------

A related question with the GetDeb source. (BTW, GetDeb is back up and running after being down for a LONG time.) The related camera control software is now at version 0.5.x and has several critical fixes, but the GetDeb available version is 0.4.x.

First of all, does it me anything for my Quantal installation that the prescribed source apt line in the manualinstallation instructions is: deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu precise-getdeb apps (rather than *quantal-getdeb*)?

Next, I recall that if I manually install anapp rather than using, say, a Synaptic source, then it will not automatically update?

If I recall incorrectly about that, then as with my library question above, if I manually install 0.5.xand the available GetDeb version eventually catches up and passes that, will it transition smoothly?
