[Gambas-user] How can I force linux mint to upgrade gambas3 to the last update?

[Fernando Cabral]

Tobi

Excuse both my ignorance and poor communication ability. I prefer using the
latest stable version, which I expect be the case when I resort to the PPA
I am presently using. Now, I was not aware that those revisions are still
considered unstable. So, I expected (wrongly, I see) that they would be
incorporated into the stable version.

So, I will stay with the stable version and wait until the changes are made
available for general use. Meanwhile, I'll keep using the workaround for
the keyboard locking issue.

Thank you.
