In fact it's even worse, in Ubuntu one needs no less than two demi-gods to approve, and next an actual divinity (archive admin) needs be okay with things too. Add to that sabnzbd+ being a relatively hard one to review, involving python, a large variety of licenses, and low priority it tends to take too long :-\. Can't put a gun to them reviewer's heads, after all :P

0.4.3~rc4 has been uploaded. New stuff:
  • Now also available for intrepid (i.e., the next release of Ubuntu scheduled for october).
  • License is back to GPL v2 or later.
  • Added an init.d script. Will only work after you edit the setting(s) in /etc/default/sabnzbdplus.

0.4.3 has been uploaded. It is essentially identical to rc4, but for ease of mind... here it is anyway.

Did you restart the program after installing the newer version?

I don't think dapper could satisfy all dependencies as is, it comes with very old versions of some python modules. So you wouldn't get very far other than by grabbing the (gutsy) source package, tweaking the dependencies and/or their versions down far enough, and rebuilding the package yourself :-\. And by then don't count on sabnzbd still functioning properly.

For lazy people or people that don't know which version / release of Ubuntu they are using  ;) , there is another first step you could use the add the SABnzbdplus repository to the sources.list:

Instead of

Code: Select all

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ubuntu CODENAME main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
where you have to fill out something for CODENAME, you can use this line to have the version filled out automagically:

Code: Select all

echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ubuntu "  `grep CODENAME /etc/lsb-release | awk -F= '{ print $2 }' `  " main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list


Proof that it works:

Code: Select all

sander@ubuntu810:~$ tail -5 /etc/apt/sources.list
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security multiverse
sander@ubuntu810:~$ 
sander@ubuntu810:~$ echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ubuntu "  `grep CODENAME /etc/lsb-release | awk -F= '{ print $2 }'`  " main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ubuntu  intrepid  main
sander@ubuntu810:~$ 
sander@ubuntu810:~$ 
sander@ubuntu810:~$ tail -5 /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-security multiverse
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ubuntu  intrepid  main

Indeed, automating that would make the instructions a bit more newbie-proof ;D (albeit at the cost of becoming more susceptable for futile attempts to use the repo with unsupported/ancient versions of ubuntu). Done.
