> that Geany 1.38 CAN HOPEFULLY be used with a Debian distro. LMGTFY https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=geany
But note, that page shows (as @eht16 pointed out) Debian has decided that they will not upgrade the version of Geany (well, most applications IIUC) that is part of Buster. To get a newer version of Geany you need to use a newer version of Debian or build it yourself. Just to clarify the concept of distributions, since you are running in a VM on Windows and Windows does not have the concept of distributions. A distribution (distro) is a collection of Linux plus application software put together by an independent organisation, Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora etc. Even Microsoft has its own Linux distro for WSL2. Those organisations and their contributors choose and package the software they provide and the policy of upgrading versions that they use. The upgrade policy can range from "everyday" for rolling ones like Arch to "never" for stable versions like Debian Buster. Application projects like Geany do not decide what Geany version is in any version of any particular distro. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3502#issuecomment-1552031211 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
