SUMMARY
I'm unable to add the Kirtta repository on Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kritalime/ppa" into terminal.
2. Get welcome screen and press enter to add repository.
3. See error from package manager.


OBSERVED RESULT

  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]
Reading package lists... Done                      
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/kritalime/ppa/ubuntu disco Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Halla Rempt 2019-05-13 08:32:09 UTC 
19.04 comes with Qt 5.12, which, if unpatched, gives a host of problems. Use the appimage instead for now. 

Also, a) this isn't a bug in Krita, so a bug report isn't really appropriate and b) it's not critical as long as there's an appimage, so downgraded to minor.
Comment 2 Charles D Bingham 2019-05-13 14:55:34 UTC 
If the PPA is not going to have a package for the current version of Ubuntu, the documentation/website is incorrect. If this isn't the proper place to report it; where is?
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2019-05-13 15:01:13 UTC 
The forum, or the irc chat channel.
Comment 4 Charles D Bingham 2019-05-15 05:10:08 UTC 
First: While it might not be a bug "in" Krita. I disagree this isn't a bug 'with' Krita. If this was a windows program and the installer was broken; it would be a bug. In the same way, I could not install the program according to the official documentation/website instructions.

Secondly: I have reported the bug to the forum; as suggested.
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=160629

Third: This bug can be marked 'Resolved' because one of the developers has now created the release file and while it might be a "testing" package, the instructions now work and the PPA/repository can now be added.
Comment 5 Halla Rempt 2019-05-15 08:08:33 UTC 
Yes, I asked Dmitry to ask the Krita Lime maintainer to add the latest ubuntu release to the ppa. Note that this uses the stock version of Ubuntu's Qt, so you might be better off using the appimages.
