Good to know. Thank you Jeroen!

I just need it for being lazy to download the .deb and install myself.
Also I have an install script for Ubuntu where I just install all of
my favorite applications with a very simple apt-get. That is one thing
I love about the repos. I can get back up and to work very quickly if
my laptop breaks or is stolen.

Kind regards,

Xu
