Don't do anything for a few minutes if you haven't already. Trusty
*sounds like* Ubuntu. If you're using Ubuntu then cool, personal
*_CHOICE_* and you're good to go, but If you're using Debian from
Debian.org, you start mixing things in together. It's both the name
"Trusty" and that... ppa thing that is throwing up the flags for me.
I'm going to try to *quickly* look this up. If someone else sees this
before I get back, maybe they could confirm or diss me on it that I'm
well meaning but on the wrong track. :))
What I'm looking at is to take Chris' find and just replace it with a
Debian repository.. :)
