I put the conventions on the wiki page [1] so we don't need to search for this for the next times.

[libreoffice-website] Need to add instructions to add ppa to ubuntu for dev build
Hopefully this is the right place to post this. I have a suggestion for something add to the website. On the developer page (http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/), in the Build and Run It section, the line "sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice" does not work off the bat for ubuntu. It's necessary to add the libreoffice ppa to the apt repository. In ubuntu, you need do the following before building libreoffice from source: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa sudo apt-get update It would great if this could be added since a lot of people use ubuntu. This should apply to other distros that use apt, too. If I should submit this suggestion somewhere else, let me know.
