14.04 - How to upgrade to a later version of Remmina than is in Repository

What's the best-practice way to upgrade to a package that is later than the one that's in the repository?

I continue to experience this bug in Remmina on Ubuntu 14.04. An Arch user informed me that he too was experiencing this before Arch upgraded him to a later version of Remmina (than the one offered in the Ubuntu 14.04 repositories).

I've had this exact same bug running ArchLinux. Seems to have been
fixed in the latest version however. My pacman log shows I updated
Remmina on Thursday October 17th from v1.0.0 to v1.1.1.

I've requested, via the bug tracker, for Ubuntu to make this newer package available via the repository, but this has not been granted yet.

So, what's the best practice way to upgrade to a package that is later than the one that's in the repository?

There is a PPA for stable versions off Remmina's master branch.

Install Remmina 1.1.1 using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-master
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp

Now Ubuntu will keep installing any new versions of Remmina which are put into this repo. If you want to prevent remmina from updating, use the following command:

echo remmina hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
