    ubuntu Author: Bill ToulasTags: , Comments: 2

    Building from source has never been the most popular choice of the less experienced Linux users who are always in the seek for a pre-built package.

Unfortunately, everything in the Linux world gets first released as source, and then it gets packaged for the various distributions and architectures, meaning that you will most probably never find a package of the absolutely latest version of a software that got just released. Thankfully, building an Ubuntu package is a simple procedure that doesn't require any technical or coding knowledge at all. Here's a step by step guide on how to do it.
