Any chance we'll get Web (the browser formally known as Epiphany) in the repositories? It's GNU =D

It isn't in the repos (I think it is)? Try one of GNOME's PPAs (that may've been where the one Synaptic listed for me came from)...

I added the GNOME PPA (ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3) but it didn't add Ephiphany to my list in Synaptic. When I updated, it installed libcolord-gtk1 and updated gnome-control-center, gnome-control-center-data, gnome-system-monitor, gnome-terminal, gnome-terminal-data, libgnome-control-center1. Just a few core things updated, but no Web (Epiphany). Still, I think it should be added to the standard Trisquel repository.

Changing the distro in the PPA from trusty to utopic allowed me to see the epiphany-browser package, but I had to go through dependency hell to get it to install correctly. It's running now, after having temporarily added the Ubuntu Utopic repository to get the required dependencies for epiphany-browser. Thanks for the GNOME PPA tip. Hopefully one day Web (epiphany-browser) will be found in the official Trisquel repo. If I update using the GNOME PPA, it breaks the Trisquel package and a few others =(

Sorry, should've directed you to ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging instead. It's certainly there in the Trusty part of that PPA!
