Bug Description
I go to a certain ppa project home, I see the file lists maintained by this ppa group, but I cannot find anywhere the precise package names.
When I want to install some software from this ppa, I have to "guess" the package name, should this happen? I don't think so.

To post a comment you must log in.
The names you see on the PPA front page are the source package names. If you click on "View Package Details" you can see the details of each source package, including the names of the binary packages, which is what you would specify when you install a new package.
