So you have ampache-3.4.4-0ubuntu1 installed and you want to give 3.5x a try, but wait 3.5 is not in the archives yet? Or better yet, you have PHP-5.2.6-0ubuntu1 installed and a newer version of PHP has come out and you want it now and not 6 months from now when the next release of Ubuntu comes out. Well the nice people at Debian/Ubuntu have developed a couple of tools to help you out. uscan and uupdate, which are part of the devscripts package, will help you update ANY Ubuntu/Debian package that has a watch file.
The first thing we need to do is install some needed packages.
