Same here, the PPA is not updated, please update :-D
https://launchpad.net/~zeal-developers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

By the way, since I have the popup asking to update, Zeal immediately close itself so I can't use it anymore. @trollixx

I have the same issue @trollixx

[IslamWahid]

same here please fix it

[richarson]

As a workaround, edit Zeal's config file (~/.config/Zeal/Zeal.conf on Linux) and change:

check_for_update=true

with

check_for_update=false

So you can start Zeal again.

I am not using Ubuntu anymore, so it might take some time to update the PPA. If anyone with DPKG experience wishes to volunteer, please let me know.

Hey @trollixx , I've managed to create some 0.4.0 builds using the zeal-packaging repo (mildly tweaked). Please check them out: https://launchpad.net/~epskampie/+archive/ubuntu/zeal/

Ubuntu trusty didn't work, as you require qt5.5.1, which is not available for that version.

If you find these packages adequate, I'd be happy to become the ubuntu packager for Zeal. In that case, you can give my launchpad account the proper permissions on the official PPA: https://launchpad.net/~epskampie

@trollixx Please update the PPA. There's lots of people in need of the new Zeal. What programmers basically need: coffee, a PC and a fresh Zeal. Without Zeal we can't work :).

@Epskampie, I am travelling until Wednesday, will check it out once I am
back. Thank you!

@Epskampie Hi, packages look good. I've added you to the Launchpad team, let me know if something is not working properly.

Please submit your "tweaks" to the zeal-packaging repo, so we could keep track of changes. Thanks!

P.S. I'll close this ticket once we have updated packages in the official PPA.

[Epskampie]

Cool, I pushed the packages for 0.4.0. Anybody with the Official PPA should get it automatically through apt.

I made a pull request for the changes to zeal-packaging.

[trollixx]

The official PPA has been updated to v0.4.0 thanks to @Epskampie.
