Latest SVN for Ubunru?

Hi There,
I've been using Scribus now for around 14 years, and I'm still enjoying using it, especially now as I'm about to create a mini magazine for the Sight Impaired Charity I am volunteering for.
What I would like to know is where can I download the latest svn or beta version of Scribus for Ubuntu 24.04LTS? I've searched the PPA, that hasn't been updated for a few years, Flatpak only has 1.6.4 which I have currently got installed and SNAP only has 1.6.1.

I would love to use the latest versions of Scribus and test it, especially as I beta test a few other applications on both Linux and Android.
If a flatpak version can be pushed out, or a SNAP that would be great, but I don't mind building it from source if I have to.

I am also registered severley sight impaired/blind, but this doesn't stop me using Scribus or any other software/application.

Cheers in advance for any information or help on this....

Hi Dave,

The simplest way to get the development version of Scribus is to get the Appimage.

There is an official Appimage for 1.7.0 linked from the Scribus site:

https://www.scribus.net/downloads/

The file is hosted on Sourceforge.

On Sourceforge you can also find a very recent Flatpak in the 1.7.1.svn folder:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-svn/1.7.1.svn/

Finally, on Gitlab, I maintain a "nightly" Appimage that is regularly produced by the CI, each time the community managed Gitlab repository is synced with the official SVN server:

https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/Scribus-nightly-x86_64.AppImage?job=appimage%3Alinux

In the past, we had a Debian/Ubuntu wonderful maintainer that was very active and was creating the PPAs. But I think that they are orphaned now.
