There's a PPA set up that will build a new package everytime something
is committed to the github repo. Installation instructions are at
librecad.org.

The packages have version numbers like:
1.0.0~rc1+yeslib201107031942-0ubuntu0~daily3~oneiric1

1.0.0~rc1 = the most recent release that the version is based on

+yeslib = libraries are embedded

201107031942 = date and time of the build (19:42 UTC on July 3, 2011)

-0ubuntu0 = this has not been released in ubuntu

~daily3 = this is the third revision of the daily build packaging scripts

~oneiric1 = this is an oneiric system (and the first build for that
system for this date)



The official Ubuntu and Debian packages have version numbers like this:
1.0.0~rc1+nolibs-3

1.0.0~rc1 = release version

+nolibs = no embedded libraries

-3 = third revision of debian packaging scripts
