I found some PPA that is patching Unity. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/789979 )

I want to re-install unity from this PPA.

How can I do?

EDIT: The accepted answer below is to how to build your own version of Unity.. please carefully read all comments.

It does not appear there is a PPA for that code. You can either wait for the fix to be released, update your version of Ubuntu, or build from source.

From the README included in the code / patch

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ikarosdev/unity/5.0_unity-revamped/files

• Installation

Please see INSTALL or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/InstallationGuideFromSource

The link then re-directs to an answer here:

How do I build Unity from source?

NOTE: If you build from source support will be limited, at best.

  • So, You think http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~iaz/unity/menubar-lp789979/changes/2384?start_revid=2384 is not built yet? As I've this http://ppa.launchpad.net/iaz/unity/ubuntu added as a PPA in my sources. Sorry, I am very new to Launchpad. Sep 27, 2013 at 16:22
  • There are no packages anywhere in that tree (if you look in the sub directories).
