I am using Sublime Text “dev” build from the official repository in my Ubuntu virtual machine.
At the same time, I would like to try Sublime Merge “stable” build (just because I do not have a license for it). But it shares the same repository with Sublime Text, so it got upgraded to a dev build today (after performing apt upgrade) and asking for a license right after starting.
For those who have install ST dev but would like to use SM stable under Ubuntu:
sudo apt remove sublime-merge# uninstall dev build SMsudo echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text-stable.listsudo apt updatesudo apt -t apt/stable install sublime-merge
UPDATE: Method above is not working after performing apt upgrade. Still auto upgraded to dev build.
FYI we’re planning on removing license key restriction on Sublime Merge dev builds from the next dev build. This won’t be the case forever, but will be at least over the next few months.
glad to have a public “dev” beta
