Some years ago, when I was using Liferea PPA packages under your distro, Liferea frequently kept crashing. Ever since I have migrated to Salix OS (Slackware division), it is a pleasant to use "unstable" releases of Liferea. Do consider to migrate to Salix after the next to come Slackware release.
This is the script I use to build a Liferea package for Slackware.
Build with $ fakeroot slkbuild -X
# Liferea Pre-release SLKBUILD Salix OS build script
pkgname=liferea-unstable
pkgver=1.11.6
pkgrel=gl
source=("https://github.com/lwindolf/$pkgname/releases/download/v$pkgver/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2")
docs=("readme" "install" "copying" "changelog" "authors" "news" "todo")

@sysads Sorry the project doesn't maintain a PPA. If you know a good working one please post the link and I can add it to the installation hints.
Hi
Anyone have an updated ppa for the latest version or how can i compile it on Ubuntu?
Thanks
