No more .deb package for Ubuntu, read this thread till the end to know why: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,6476.0.html :-)
I have read it, but I don't get it (maybe I am slow). Why was this important and what is the benefit? I cannot see it explained in that thread (sorry if I have overlooked something obvious)? It seems to be much more to download (before ~7MB now 18MB!), what has been added?
....and now it is harder to install? Please, where is the description for how to install this, there are 7 .deb files in there, with interdependencies as I understand. I am on Kubuntu 7.04. Before I could easily install the single .deb file using Gdebi and switching C:B versions was no problem (even going backwards). This seems more problematic now, and will keep me from upgrading for a while, unless I see the light.

Easy way to install the new packages is to untar the tar.gz file to a temp directory. Then in a terminal console from that directory enter:
The reason codeblocks has been broken down into separate packages is probably in preparation to submit Codeblocks to the Ubuntu and Debian repositories for inclusion in the future. The maintainers of the repos would most likely require that Codeblocks be broken down this way.
And as for the decline in the Ubuntu packages, I'm in the middle of a major remodel of our home, so the Ubuntu builds will probably only be about 2 a week. The Debian builds are on hold for now, unless someone else wants to build those. Sorry about this, but my wife's desires outweigh yours.

EDIT: If you want to install the individual packages, they need to be installed in this order:
libcodeblocks0
codeblocks
codeblocks-dev (if you want to develop codeblocks and plugins)
codeblocks-dbg
libwxsmithlib0 (if you want to install any of the following packages)
libwxsmithlib0-dev
codeblocks-contrib
