Hi guys, First, thanks for offering your time on this Bill, but before we proceed I just have one concern:
I don't think we're interested in pushing our beta releases to anyone but testers. If you're using Mixxx for your weekly DJ gig, you generally don't want to use our betas, and you're going to be pretty upset if you run Update Manager and then discover you're using a buggy beta next time you DJ. So if we want to use PPAs, I think we should make two separate repos: one for stable releases and one for betas. We would clearly explain on our downloads page that the betas PPA should not be used for live DJing, which is our usual disclaimer for all our beta releases. Does that make sense?
