Yes, you should install yad. I've been using 0.27.0-1. It looks like that's the latest version.
The debs are here:
http://debs.slavino.sk/files-testing.phpOr you can add it to sources.list and run the gpg commands in the comments:
- Code:
# Yad
deb http://debs.slavino.sk/ testing main non-free
# deb-src http://debs.slavino.sk/ testing main
## gpg --recv-keys FFF06A93
## gpg --export --armor FFF06A93 | apt-key add -
The zenity-based installer has not been upgraded along with the yad-based installer. In some near-future version, the zenity script will be dropped.
For refractasnapshot, either zenity or yad should give you the same thing. Anyone who doesn't have yad can use the cli scripts. Those have kept up (mostly) and will be maintained in the future. (There are a couple options in the gui installers that aren't in the cli installer. File system labels is the one that comes to mind.)
