Well, Ubuntu 21.04 has currently version 4.2.5-3 in it's repository, but Ubuntu 20.04 still has 3.12.0-3.1. And I want to stick with 20.04 because it's a LTS (Long Term Support) release, which means it's supported for 5 years, while 21.04 is a standard release with only 1,5 year of support. I use only LTS releases because 1,5 year of support means for me that shortly after you get used to the system, have customized it to your needs and started to feel comfortably in the environment the support is over (and so there are no more updates) and you have to upgrade to a new release. So with standard releases I would have to continuously upgrade, configure, resolve issues, again upgrade, configure, resolve issues etc. which leaves little time to do any actual productive work on the system :). As linphone-desktop package is dependent on 17 other packages (at least that's the number of packages that were automatically installed as dependencies when I installed the program), of which 15 are various libraries, I guess it isn't easy to upgrade without risking messing up my system. Is there any PPA which contains backports of current Linphone version to older, still supported Ubuntu releases? I have found only this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~linphone/+archive/ubuntu/release/ but it contains builds only for old, already unsupported Ubuntu releases - the highest available is 16.04, with Linphone version 3.9.1. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ Linphone-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users
