Frank, add the following to any file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/geany-dev/ppa/ubuntu raring main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/geany-dev/ppa/ubuntu raring main

I don’t think there are any problem dependencies that would prevent the
raring package from installing on saucy. Usually (though certainly not
always) installing a package built for an older distribution than you’re
running is trouble-free. At least it has been for me in seven years using
Debian-based operating systems, where third-party packages tend to be built
for either the current stable release (Debian) or the current LTS release
(Ubuntu).

To avoid testing binary-incompatibilities, a neater option in my
opinion is to 'copy packages' from
https://launchpad.net/~geany-dev/+archive/ppa/+packages to one of your
personal PPAs on Launchpad (it's really just a click of a button!).

For fun I copied  geany - 1.23+dfsg-1~hyper1+raring to
https://launchpad.net/~landronimirc/+archive/collection/+packages ,
and while doing so asked to 'rebuild' for 'Saucy'.

But all this is a moot point. Ubuntu Saucy already ships geany-1.23.1.
Frank, can you install that?

My xubuntu system already installed that, but it apparently does not have the recent R indentation improvements.

Thats about 6 months old, but is the current release.

Changes made since then will only be available in Git or nightly builds (http://nightly.geany.org/) until the next release which on past practice will be between 0 and 6 months, with a leaning towards sooner rather than later if a nasty bug in the Windows build gets fixed.


Cheers
Lex
