Install Y-PPA Manager 0.0.9.0 in Ubuntu or Linux Mint

Y PPA Manager, a tool to easily search for packages in Launchpad PPAs and perform various PPA actions: add, remove, purge, backup PPAs and more, has been updated to version 0.0.9.0 today.

Changes in Y PPA Manager 0.0.9.0:

• new "Install packages" item in the main UI that lets you quickly install packages (if you already know the package names). Separate multiple packages with a space. This python script was contributed by Lorenzo from atareao.es (thank you!)
• when you search for packages in Launchpad PPAs, you can select to install some packages directly from the search results dialog (from the search results dialog, select a PPA and click "List packages", then select some package(s) and click "Install") - if the PPA isn't already added on your system, it will be added and then the selected package(s) will be installed using the new "Install packages" python script mentioned above, that comes with a GUI, so the user can see if any errors occur. This makes it easier and a lot faster to find the package you're looking for, add the PPA and install the package (for an even faster experience, the PPA source is updated using "update-ppa", a feature added in Y PPA Manager 0.0.8.7)
• a new "PPA status" column in the basic search and advanced search results dialog that lets you know if the PPA is already added on your system or not. Feature inspired by PPASC
• Search results dialog: when searching for a package (in deep search only), Y PPA Manager displays its version if it's installed, or it lets you know that the package is not installed.
• "Remove duplicate PPA sources": display which PPA sources are duplicates and also, display which PPA sources are about to be removed
• Other minor changes and fixes, like for instance setting a proper name for the indicator when using HUD

Installation of Y-PPA Manager on Ubuntu or Linux Mint, open terminal and enter commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager

Enjoy
