[edit] Compiz and Compiz Fusion GIT Repository for Ubuntu

Note: This repository is not officially supported.

It's maintened by TreviÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ±o, using this makefusiondebs script that fetches the latest git snapshot, and builds it with some patches and configuration ennhancements (all available here)...

This repo can be considered safe, but as we always say with bleeding edge software: Use at your own risk! Since the packages available on the repository are newer than the official releases, using it could cause breaking official upgrades, but you may always downgrade to standard versions using APT.

To add the repository edit your sources.list file using:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

To use it, add these lines:
