   It probably would. I tried adding the repository but it seems apt-key is   
   depreciated and updating the cache gives a warning about the repositroy   
   being insecure and it is disabled.   
   I might in the future simply download the deb and use dpkg to install it   
   but currently, with it installed in ~/bin, things work including SM   
   updating itself. If I get an urge to visit the nightlies, I'd simply   
   build them locally.   
   Thanks,
