Re: [Trisquel-users] Outdated Trisquel Packages

[jason]

You should find the versions to match those found when Ubuntu 12.04 LTS,  
which is what Trisquel 6 is based on. Ubuntu generally packages up the latest  
versions that exist at some particular point and then provide bug fixes and  
such. The next distro release then provides a new set of packages to last  
until the next release after that. It then continues in that fashion for  
forever. So, yes - In between releases you may find people saying "These are  
old." But that's kinda by design so that major changes aren't happening in  
between releases and a release can be stable and counted on to not be  
introducing breakage (You mean the API changed just by updating that  
package?! Now my program is broke!) If you want to live on the edge, look at  
Parabola. Be forewarned though: The bleeding edge is stained by the blood of  
the users.
