[chirp_users] Ubuntu PPA version not up to date?

[Derek Tombrello]

I have installed CHIRP on my Ubuntu 14.04LTS laptop using the PPA method
as described here
- http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download

I kept getting "radio refused to send block xxx" errors, although it
worked fine using the Windows under VirtualBox. After reading the bug
reports, I tried using the "manual install" found here
- http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux

That worked perfectly. Looking at the About page, I see that the PPA
version installed is 0.4.1 while the source version is daily-20160116.
I'm just curious as to why the PPA version is not (or does not appear to
be) up to date? Thanks.

neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."
