Hi 👋🏼,

Could you confirm whether the following PPA is an official source for Timeshift?

launchpad.net/~teejee2008/+archive/ubuntu/timeshift

It appears to be official, but when I read this part (from a bit more than 3 years ago) in the upstream repo, it made me doubt 🤔.

I tried to search around the repo for any mention of this Launchpad PPA but did not reach to a definitive answer.

There are a few issues in the repo that discuss the PPA, but I couldn’t find a clear statement confirming if is official or not.

If the PPA is official, could we add a note to the root README (in the installation section for Debian‑based distributions) suggesting that users may add this PPA to obtain a more up‑to‑date Timeshift version?

At the end of this section maybe 🤔.

timeshift/README.md

Lines 150 to 159 in ffc7c37

### Debian-based Distributions
Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, etc.
Install Timeshift from the repositories:
```sh
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install timeshift
```

For reference, my current Timeshift package is a bit old:

$ apt show timeshift 2>&1 | grep -i version
Version: 24.01.1-1build2

24.01.1

Jan 4 2024

Adding the PPA ...

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/timeshift
$ sudo apt update

... would allow users to install the latest build, such as:

25.07.7-0~202512041546~ubuntu25.04.1

Thank you for any clarification you can provide.
