hallo,
could someone please explain to me why the software provided in the distro's
repos sometimes seem a bit outdated? this seems (to me) not being a trisquel
specific issue, but rather any linux distros, ubuntu, opensuse...
right now i'm still busy with setting up my MacBook properly for dual systems
OS X and Trisquel. it looks i need to work with gdisk.
from what comes by installing gdisk through the trisquel repos, the version
is 0.6.14 which was released in January 2011. Since then nine(!) more recent
versions have been developed and released. right now the most recent version
seems 0.8.5 released in May 2012.
My questions are:
* can i just download that newer source code, compile and use? (safely
without breaking my Trisquel install)
* when, how do the updates find their way into the trisquel repos?
thanks,
zancudo/mono
