My problem is that i want to install latest blender and upgrade it automatically via sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade . So, i tried to add a repository



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cheleb/blender-svn 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender


So, after the first line executed in terminal it gives me:



You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted
More info: https://launchpad.net/~cheleb/+archive/blender-svn
Press [ENTER] to continue or ctrl-c to cancel adding it

Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options
--no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.pvnVePB2Fl --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted
gpg: "tag:launchpad.net:2008:redacted" not a key ID: skipping


And when i am running the second line it gives me:



W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/cheleb/blender-svn/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch
http://ppa.launchpad.net/cheleb/blender-svn/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages
404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch

404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.


Q: why this ppa does not work and what should i do to have blender updated automatically!?!Thanks

IF you Actually click on the links you can find out why, the address just doesn't exist.



And if you go to the launchpad page: https://launchpad.net/~cheleb/+archive/blender-svn you can see it's not accessible.



@PhoneixS asked the maintainer of the PPA Ralf Hölzemer (cheleb) and he said: "...cannot maintain that PPA any longer."






You can however Install it from this other PPA:



https://launchpad.net/~thomas-schiex/+archive/ubuntu/blender



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender


The builds are recent so you still get the newest Blender.



Here you can find Instructions on how to Compile Blender from SVN
