Stellarium PPA

As the Stellarium release schedule does not follow closely the Ubuntu
release schedule, often the Stellarium version in Ubuntu's repositories
is not the latest one. Stellarium's team provides a Launchpad PPA
(personal package archive) that allows Ubuntu users to obtain the latest
released version.

The page of the PPA in Launchpad is here: Stellarium Ubuntu Releases.

As of January 2011, it contains packages of Stellarium 0.10.6 for Ubuntu
10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat).
