Re: [Trisquel-users] Outdated Trisquel Packages

[jason]

"The only way that I could see this being an issue, and please correct me if  
I'm wrong, is if the libraries that the package depends on are newer than  
what is expected and the API has some deprecated pieces that were taken out  
between revisions thus breaking programs that relied on the old style. In  
this event, could you not just keep both version of the library available and  
just have that specific program be compiled using the library that it  
needs/wants"

Indeed, but that was only intended to be one example of where breakage can  
occur by living on the bleeding edge. In general, Trisquel follows the  
packages that exist in the corresponding upstream Ubuntu version.
