问题
I have downloaded latest SmartGit installation and each time I want to use it I need to run script smartgit.sh from SmartGit bin directory, this process requires the same repository setup every time.
What it correct way of installing SmartGit on Ubuntu? Thus I can have normal icon and run the program from state of previous usage, without configuring repositories every time.
Thanks.

In smartgit/bin folder, there's a shell script waiting for you: add-menuitem.sh. It does just that.

You can add a PPA that provides a relatively current version of SmartGit(as well as SmartGitHg, the predecessor of SmartGit).
To add the PPA run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/ppa
sudo apt-get update
To install smartgit (after adding the PPA) run:
sudo apt-get install smartgit
To install smartgithg (after adding the PPA) run:
sudo apt-get install smartgithg
This should add a menu option for you
For more information, see Eugene San PPA.
This repository contains collection of customized, updated, ported and backported packages for two last LTS releases and latest pre-LTS release

Now on the Smartgit webpage (I don't know since when) there is the possibility to download directly the .deb package. Once installed, it will upgrade automagically itself when a new version is released.

Seems a bit too late, but there is a PPA repository with SmartGit, enjoy! =)
