Actually, no. The latest and best duplicity versions are in the ppa package. Ubuntu, and others, lock the version when a release is made. For example, version 0.7.19 is the current version in the ppa, but it's not in any apt repository. Instead, much earlier versions are there and do not get fixes or improvements, so I normally recommend upgrading using the duplicity ppa with apt.
As to pip, much the same goes there. There are versions on pip that far exceed what is on the distro's apt repository. Some of those are needed to keep the duplicity backends running, since the hosts may randomly change the API after successfully getting the last version working. It's not apt I don't like, it does it's job. It's the policy of locked versions that causes me a lot of grief and needless bug reports for packages that are years older than they should be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743247 Title: B2 Python APIs are missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1743247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
