Debian currently ships: Debian release gnucash release * 10 (oldstable) 3.4 * 10 (oldstable-backports) 4.4 * 11 (stable) 4.4 * 11 (stable-backports) -nothing- * 12 (testing) 4.6 * (unstable) 4.8 (this was literally uploaded today) > Q1: Offers Ubuntu no backports repos? It does. I just so happen (!) to be involved in the Backports team. Ubuntu backports have been basically not-functional for years now, but we have been re-bootstrapping the project. So, I suppose, I could see about backporting it to ubuntu focal-backports (20.04-bpo). But I'm currently very busy with other projects, so this won't happen extremely soon at least. > If the answer is No, Why? > Perhhaps worth to discuss with the Ubuntu user base? The place to discuss these things, rather than with the "user base" (what's that? ;) would be either [email protected] (for general stuff) or [email protected] (for the backports project specifically), both MLs require subscription. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.
