I'm back after 30 days without Internet ( I moved and my ISP got many issues ... ) and the first thing I want to share on my blog is about 'Krita Lime' PPA made by Dmitry Kazakov. Let's quote him :
" The Krita Lime PPA is setup to provide *Buntu users with an always fresh version of Krita, without the need to update the whole system. It provides regular builds of Krita's git master branch, so you get all the latest Krita features without a delay. Of course, being based on git-master may sometimes result in a bit of instability, so make sure you report any problems so we can fix them. "
So, you can now install Krita 'master' dev version with pasting only 3 lines in a Terminal :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dimula73/krita
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install krita-testing krita-testing-dbg

Notes :
- Depending the environment you use , a shortcut of the application might not be created in your default menu ( ex : Unity launcher ) . To launch krita , open a terminal, and write krita. Use your distribution documentation to create yourself a custom launcher in your menu.- To avoid conflict ; before install, check that you don't have any original calligra or krita packages installed. If you have, remove them.
- I tested it on a VM with Ubuntu main 13.04 64bit today.
- From a feedback in the comments ; a 'reboot' of the system may help after installation.
