[Trisquel-users] Can I use Electrum from the repositories or should I install the latest version?

[wrappy . trial258]

Hi,

the Electrum version from the Trisquel repositories is pretty outdated  
(2.7.9-1).

Can I use it without security concerns? Or would it be better to download and  
install the latest version from Electrum's website?

Of course I would verify it (signature and public key), but is there anything  
else I should be aware of? Are there any dependencies that could break or any  
other problems that could occur when I install Electrum's latest version (or  
software not from the official repositories in general)?

Thanks
