Purging redundant ppa's
Asked by
John Rose
A Launchpad Ubuntu ppa is currently being used for certain packages, either because the packages are not available from the standard Ubuntu repos or because the ppa's packages are better (in the sense that they are higher versions which have often had bugs removed or have extra functionality) . Ideally, it would be good to know when that ppa is redundant i.e. when the ppa's packages have the same (or higher) versions in the Ubuntu repos. Is there a utility which will do this?
