I would just like to know, do the tar.bz2.sig files available on sourceforge automatically install PM, like a .deb file? I ask because I prefer to install/upgrade from an installation file on my own computer.__________________

Question on tar.bz2.sig installation file
I'm still learning Linux so if this is a dumb question, please excuse. I would just like to know, do the tar.bz2.sig files available on sourceforge automatically install PM, like a .deb file? I ask because I prefer to install/upgrade from an installation file on my own computer.

Re: Question on tar.bz2.sig installation file
If you want to upgrade, just run the installer. It has an upgrade option.
The .sig files are GPG/PGP cryptographic signatures allowing you to verify both the integrity and authenticity of the archives.

Re: Question on tar.bz2.sig installation file
I goofed. I meant the .tar.bz2 files. Do those install like .exe files in Windows?

Re: Question on tar.bz2.sig installation file
I'm curious, is there some reason for not making available an installation .deb (or something similar) file?

AFAIK someone is maintaining a debian specific repo file for us.

Because I do not currently have the time or resources to make packages for "x" distro in addition to the standard releases. See this.helloimustbegoing wrote:I'm curious, is there some reason for not making available an installation .deb (or something similar) file?
Yes there is, although there is a known issue with PNG decoding when using it on Ubuntu 14.04 and other distros with that base (such as Mint 17/17.1), and also as of yet it hasn't been updated to 25.3.2Matt A Tobin wrote:AFAIK someone is maintaining a debian specific repo file for us.
