GetDeb
GetDeb is an Ubuntu software portal providing newer versions of software included in Ubuntu, and software that is omitted from the official repositories.PlayDeb is a sister project with an explicit focus on games. The names come from the .deb package format used by Ubuntu.
GetDeb and PlayDeb services can also be used by Linux Mint, a prominent Ubuntu derivative.
Purpose
Standard Ubuntu releases receive support for nine months and LTS releases for five years. During this support lifetime, they will receive official security fixes, high-impact bug fixes and conservative, substantially beneficial low-risk bug fixes - but no completely new versions of applications.
GetDeb allows its users to receive more up-to-date versions of popular software without upgrading their whole OS or installing from source code.
Pros and cons
GetDeb and PlayDeb serve two primary purposes. They allow Ubuntu users to install software that is not yet included in the main repositories, and offer current versions of many packages that are included in the Ubuntu repositories. The latter is of utility because, due to the release cycle adopted by Ubuntu, most packages will be several months out of date at the time of release, and will not receive feature updates until the next discrete release for stability reasons.

Off these pages of desire and lust
I'll search for a spell perfect for you
'Cause I'm into get you enchanted with me... too
Oh oh ooooh
Come see what I got for you
All the others got me misunderstood

All the others got me misunderstood
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Blood rose petals go into my room
Storm in and slowly, around I go thinking of you
And how sweet life will be when you are finally mine
I'll wake and live life like I've longed for all this time
Oh oh ooooh
Come see what I got for you
All the others got me misunderstood
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good

Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Open up your eyes now
Now your love belongs to me
Open up your eyes now
Now there's no escaping me
