git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/geehalel/indi.git
cd ~/Projects/indi
git checkout azeqaltaz
That will replace your current indi-core installation, but it will be restored at the next software update from ppa.
If you don't succeed I may ask a pull request so that will be available in the next ppa update.
