I am interested in trying out the Blender 2.54 beta, but don't have the time or patience to download and install all of the dependencies for it and compile it myself.

Is there a PPA somewhere that I can use to obtain a pre-compiled package for it?

You can also use https://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/blender which is another alternative to the 2.5.x and the 2.4.x

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:irie/blender && sudo apt-get update

For Blender 2.68.x - sudo apt-get install blender

For Blender 2.4.x - sudo apt-get install blender2.4

Please note:

IRIE's PPA has not been updated for 6 months now, I have setup a new one here:

https://launchpad.net/~thomas-schiex/+archive/ubuntu/blender

You can install Blender 2.73rc1 and update as follows:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender

I've managed to find a PPA for version 2.53 beta:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cheleb/blender-svn && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender

Given that IRIE's PPA has not been updated for 6 months now, I have setup a new one here:

https://launchpad.net/~thomas-schiex/+archive/ubuntu/blender

You can install it and update as follows:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thomas-schiex/blender
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install blender
