If you are affected by a bug which is marked as "Fix committed" but not "Fix released" or if you are just curious about a newly committed feature, you can run the latest development version really easy:

You need bazaar installed:
sudo apt-get install bzr

Then change to some folder where you want to put variety, and run:
bzr branch lp:variety

The sources will be downloaded to a subfolder "variety". Now do:
cd variety
bin/variety -v

That's it. If you want to keep it updated, run "bzr pull" from inside this variety folder from time to time. I try to keep the development trunk as stable as possible.
