Ubuntu edgy compiz-git repos

[gandalfn]

I added a new repos which include latest compiz git version and compiz-extra experimental package. To use them add git repos in your source.list like this :
deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu edgy git

you can add this repos with stable and dev repos like this :
deb http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu edgy stable dev git

if you use them, you should get gpg key like this :
gpg --keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 0x483170E9 ; \
gpg --export -a 0x483170E9 | sudo apt-key add -

WARNING ! this packages are considered as very unstable

Shouldn't the version numbers be something like last-released-version+gitgit_date? As they currently are, won't 0.3.5 packages, when they're released, have a lower version number than any of the current git packages?

Afaik, David follows the "kernel"-versioning-style ... so the git-version is odd and the release-version is even ... (please correct me if I am wrong) ... so the next release would be 0.3.6, not 0.3.5.

It's exactly that ! thank RYX ;)

the current git version is 0.3.5 for this reason compiz version packages are 0.3.5.git<date> and to follow this version the compiz-extra which compile with it is 0.3.5.x :)

Well, you live and learn :). I obviously haven't been paying enough attention to the version numbers!
