+---- Thread: will alpha 4 be available on unstable PPA (/showthread.php?tid=205769)
will alpha 4 be available on unstable PPA - King Mob - 2014-10-04
will i be able to install a monthly build of kodi 14.0 on ubuntu in the near future, or should i stick with the nightly builds for now? i switched from nightly to unstable when i saw that alpha 4 had been released, but it still installed gotham.

That means your ppa's are still tuned to gotham, and/or you are using Ubuntu version which is still not compiled as nightly....
To switch to nightly, this would be proper way on Ubuntu:
With:
sudo apt-cache policy
you will see on which build your ppa goes
For now, nightlies ppa are called xbmc-nightly
so with:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:<name of your current ppa>
you should remove ppa's not needed. If not prolific in working with this things, best would be to remove all
xbmc ppa's.
Then, add your new xbmc-nightly ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly
Then, install new version as this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove xbmc
sudo apt-get install xbmc
You would get latest Nightly which is, as of this moment also Alpha4.
Of course i will not remind you about backup of your .xbmc folder....
If that worked, and you had Precise or Trusty, you should see:
2:14.0~git20141003.0200-70ad1da-0.... (as of this moment)
