A comprehensive collection of general backports, bringing upgrades to many areas of the system for Ubuntu (LTS) releases spanning the past 8+ years.

UPDATE (27 May 2022): argon2, keepass2, keepassxc, and zxcvbn-c have been moved to ppa:savoury1/encryption which is a better home for those packages (they are also still available at ppa:savoury1/utilities as previously).

==========================================================================

    *** Current target series: Xenial, Bionic, Focal and Jammy LTS ***

IMPORTANT NOTE for Focal and earlier: Upgrading to fuse3 can cause dpkg to attempt removal of many packages, rather than it just simply upgrading the old fuse to fuse3 (which then "provides" fuse anyhow). To rectify this for now until a possible different solution is found do the following command:

  sudo apt-get install fuse3

Note about Curl: Package here is a specialised one containing Curl 3 & 4 symbols and providing the libcurl3 package dependency, to allow install of software depending on libcurl3 even on Bionic and newer series. Please see https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/curl34 for more details.

Notes for Xenial systems:

* libva 1.8.3 with libva1 is here (Xenial software uses libva1), whereas libva 2.x with libva2 (Bionic and newer) is at ppa:savoury1/multimedia and this allows Xenial users to install both libva1 and libva2 (if required).

* libvpx 1.7.0 with libvpx5 (Bionic era) is here for Xenial which ships with libvpx3) and libvpx >= 1.11 / libvpx7 is at ppa:savoury1/multimedia again allowing Xenial users access to both versions if required.

* mate-dock-applet 0.90.gtk2 is based on a fork of MATE Dock Applet for GTK2 desktops, essentially a backport of 0.88 with various patches for GTK2 use (https://github.com/savoury1/mate-dock-applet/tree/gtk2-build).

* perl rebuild is with pkgbinarymangler 144 to resolve a conflict when both amd64 and i386 libperl5.22 packages are installed (LP: #1574351). This problem occurs with certain upgrades, eg. when installing newer scanner drivers (sane-backends 1.0.29 in ppa:savoury1/graphics) that can install for both amd64 and i386, which requires libperl5.22 amd64 & i386.

*** Install ***

Xenial & GNUPG: Backported GNUPG 2.1.23 here replaces 2.1.11 (default) and makes backport processes and upgrades easier, due many packaging changes between the two versions. However, it forces a requirement on newer APT for Xenial also, which is a positive due many improvements and bugfixes. So Xenial users wanting to upgrade to gnupg2 2.1.23 must do these steps:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/apt-xenial
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/backports
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Xenial & GCC 7.5.0 (FileZilla & nghttp2): Some backports require GCC >= 7 to install and run, due new source code using features in more modern GCC than 5.4.0 (Xenial default). FileZilla >= 3.50.0 and nghttp2 >= 1.41.0 are two examples of such software. For GCC 7.5.0 on Xenial at this Launchpad site: use ppa:savoury1/toolchain for all GCC 7.5.0 packages while keeping GCC 5.4.0 as system default, OR to set GCC 7.5.0 as the system default use ppa:savoury1/gcc-defaults-7 instead. So do this for GCC 7.5.0 on Xenial:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/toolchain

OR

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/gcc-defaults-7

THEN

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
