Here I ask this question since 12.04 Beta 2 is usable and this question would come up sooner then later. After issuing the standard
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn
sudo apt-get update
I get the following errors.
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Is there any way to get around this. Excluding compiling from source as it usually introduces even more multilevel errors.
The simple answer is - install the stable 2.8 instead! Fortunatelly it also made gimp plugin registry (with the famous save for web plugin) easy to install.
Via http://www.webupd8.org/ :
GIMP 2.8 stable installation
If you're upgrading from an older GIMP version please visit the link and pay attention to the 'dist-upgrade' command http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/gimp-28-stable-finally-available-for.html (also if you want to revert to GIMP 2.6.x)
If you're just installing GIMP for the first time on your current system install:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp
GIMP Plugin Registry for GIMP 2.8 installation
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/install-gimp-plugin-registry-for-gimp.html
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-registry
