The version in Devuan Jessee will be the version that was currently packaged at the time Debian Jessie was frozen. Devuan adheres to the same release model as Debian - updates to a package which modify its functionality in any way whatsoever are forbidden for the life of the distribution, and security/stability fixes from a newer upstream must be backported to the version released with Devuan.
Your options for more current packages are (in general order of preference): * See if the jessie-backports repository has the newer version you need. (jessie-backports is a repository of newer packages compiled against released dependancies so as to be usable with jessie. It's recommended that you set up pinning im such a manner as to only install from backports if explicitly told to do so, otherwise you may upgrade more than you'd like and possibly even break things) * Find a third party repository compatible with jessie that has a current version * Build your own, current version of the package * Build from source, install into /usr/local (if you go this route, strongly consider using stow to manage your /usr/local hierarchy - this doesn't register the package with dpkg, so if you need it to satisfy a dependency in another package, it's not a good option) On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 12:11 PM Hughe Chung <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > The latest stable version of OpenSCAD is 2015.03-3. > When I installed openscad, it was old version. > openscad:amd64/jessie 2014.03+dfsg-1 uptodate > > Regards, > Hughe > > PS: Are there any 3D Printer users? > _______________________________________________ > Dng mailing list > [email protected] > https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng >
