Re: Terminator testing options
PPA would be could to be able to get more people to test the new
versions without going through bzr pull and install.
I guess by now, Ubuntu users are used to PPA.
For the rest of the community, either we could get a sponsor to create
packages for mainstream distros.
Then, for the developer community, people will still rely on source.
