Nautilus – How to Install Nautilus-Gksu?

installationnautilusnautilus-extensions

I heard about nautilus-gksu and would like to install it. Unfortunately, when I try, I get this:

glemi@XPS:~$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package nautilus-gksu

How and where can I get this package?

Apparently nautilus-gksu has not been in the Ubuntu repositories since 12.04.

I got the below from: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/09/open-files-and-folders-as-root-from.html

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu

Then restart nautilus with this command:

nautilus -q

I didn't try this myself, and don't know if there's a better repository to add than upubuntu; it's also supposed to be available from the Linux Mint repositories from my quick Google search. If you Google for alternates, I would recommend limiting the results to the last year, to avoid obsolete references.
