#1711 Can't install from PPA on Ubuntu 20

[Dan Dascalescu]

When I run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:taskcoach-developers/pp, I get this error:

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/taskcoach-developers/ppa/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

PS: any chance of moving to GitHub? Far more developers there to discover and support the project.

Yeah, we discussed moving away from PPAs, sorry for not getting this updated at this time.

You can install directly from the .deb at http://jeromelaheurte.net/TaskCoach-packages/latest_bugfixes.py

There are some annoying workarounds to get Task Coach installed on latest Ubuntu, but it's possible. See this discussion: https://answers.launchpad.net/taskcoach/+question/690591

Right now, Task Coach is built with Mercurial not Git

Hi, excited to tell you that https://github.com/taskcoach/taskcoach now has updated Python3 Task Coach packages for Ubuntu-based systems, you can try the AppImage, but I'm using the .deb options and everything is working for me. Give it a try and report bugs there, cheers!

No plans to bring back PPA at this time, but we'll see
