Ubuntu
librecad package

updating to 2.1.1

Asked by ravas

2.1.0 fixed a lot of crashes, memory leaks and a case where LibreCAD silently runs in the background (stuck in a loop),
not to mention many other things...
The latest release was 2.1.1, June 20th.
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases

Is something preventing an update here?

If you are using Trusty, then this PPA will give you it:

I'm not using Ubuntu, but we have had several users ask about this.
I'll inform them about that PPA; thank you.

This is the Ubuntu support forum, so not using Ubuntu and posting here is a little weird

Ubuntu users are posting on our forum and github issues page,
instead of here or on your forums.

LibreCAD is a 100% volunteer based project,
and no one seems willing or able to offer a PPA.

Is there anyone who is considered a maintainer of the LibreCAD package here?
Is there a more appropriate place to be asking about an update?

The LibreCAD package on Ubuntu is maintained by the group https://launchpad.net/~librecad-dev

If you create a bug report stating the bug fixes and improvements of the new version, then it might be updated in the next Ubuntu releases.

I tried contacting Scott several ways without success;
although, posting here apparently got his attention.
The daily PPA has been updated.
Thanks.

Can you help with this problem?
