Welcome to the badgerports 8.04 Ubuntu Repository

What is on badgerports?

badgerports contains several software packages for use with Ubuntu Linux 8.04. Whilst on the whole it is a good idea to use the software provided with your Linux distribution, there are sometimes bugs or major software updates that cannot be included for operational reasons. badgerports is a home for a number of wayward software packages, to enhance the Ubuntu experience.

The primary purpose of badgerports is to provide recent versions of the Mono framework, and associated packages such as F-Spot, Banshee, and Monodevelop. Suggestions for other packages to include are welcome, but don't be offended if I decline for whatever reason.
