Yup. I saw that. My problem is that I don't know how to add extrasel to ubuntu after I followed the steps on the following website:
http://nightly.geany.org/debian/
- I added deb http://geany.nightlybuilds.org/ ./debian/ to my sources.list
- I installed geany
- I installed geany-plugins
But I still don't have geany-extrasel. Is there a reason all the plugins are not maintained on http://nightly.geany.org/debian/. I find extrasel the coolest plugin and one of the most amazing features of geany (the column mode) it should be really included with the default install of geany.
The plugins are not necessarily written and maintained by the Geany crew. Plugins can be listed on plugins.geany.org so that Geany users can find them easily, but the author is not forced to set them up in such a way that they are included in the geany-plugins package. The author may make this decision because they don't want to, because they can't support maintaining the plugin to the Geany release schedule, because they don't know how, because the plugin is not windows compatible or GTK-2.8 compatible or other technical reasons etc.
Plugins that are not part of the geany-plugins package obviously don't get built by the nightly server since it doesn't know about them. It is unlikely that they would be added to the nightly build separately as each plugin is individual and would require significantly more maintenance of the build server, effort which isn't really available.
The solution is, as Frank said, to compile the extra plugins yourself.

Any suggestions on how I can add extrasel to my ubuntu10.10 after I've upgraded to 0.20.1?
Thanks,
Vineet

I recently upgraded to the 0.20 version from the nightly builds website and also installed the plugins all (from the same site) but since I did this I've lost the column mode (which came with the extrasel plugin)
Any idea on how I can add it through the nightly builds website?
I'm on ubuntu 10.10
When you say the same site do you mean http://www.geany.org/Support/Plugins or http://plugins.geany.org/.
Extrasel is on the latter.
