How to download gnomebaker?

I followed instructions here [1]

I type

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnomebaker/stable

The result is

Question

Considering these errors, how can I download gnomebaker?

I went to "What can I do if a repository/PPA does not have a Release file?"

there I found only things about something called trust media. I have no idea what that is. It is a program for all PPA, or is it a PPA. By the way, what is a PPA. As far as I can tell, if the PPA owner does not update for new distributions of Ubunto, then one is just out of luck. So, in some sense the link helps. It helps me realize to leave this be and find a new solution altogether.

The app was for GNOME 2 (GTK2), modern GNOME is now at GNOME 4, with 3 in maintenance support only, and 2 having been deprecated for a long time...

The package was dropped long ago upstream (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnomebaker) as per https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=590890

Please remove gnomebaker. It's unmaintained for a long time, dead upstream, doesn't work with current kernels (see #402777) and replacements exist (e.g. Brasero, XFBurn or K3b). Looking at the BTS it seems fairly buggy anyway.

I'd not recommend trying to get it operating, but use a modern and mostly importantly maintained alternative.
