RawTherapee for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

@gwaugh, I just double checked the [download page] for RT and found this when choosing Ubuntu:
[download page]: RawTherapee - Downloads

Repository
Repositories provide pre-built packages. To use a repository you only have to add it once, and you will get notified via the Update Manager as soon as a package of a new version of RawTherapee becomes available. Ubuntu repositories are kindly run by Dariusz Duma, and all questions should be directed to him.

We recommend using a development version so that you enjoy the latest features, bug fixes and improvements.

To install RawTherapee follow these simple steps:

  1. Open the terminal
  2. Paste this code into it:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dhor/myway
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install rawtherapee

If you want a development version:

sudo apt-get install rawtherapee-unstable

RawTherapee should now be installed and ready for use.

What exactly is wrong with the existing text? Or what do you think needs to be changed? Seems pretty straightforward (at least this part):

I personally think they should just lose the stable moniker completely if it’s not going to be reasonably up to date and just point to unstable (which is usually rock-solid for me anyway…) :slight_smile:
