UbuntuGIS has the QGIS LTR version because it uses the packaging maintained by the Debian GIS team, which only packages the LTR. > Note: OSGeoLive packaging, and Debian packaging both feed into Ubuntugis > directly helping to keep all the packages up to date. UbuntuGIS is not up to date. UbuntuGIS gets updated packages when they get copied from the OSGeoLive PPA. When OSGeoLive has not updated the packages in their PPA like for the current release (the first based on bionic), there are no updates for the UbuntuGIS PPA either. In the past there were more contributors actively backporting packages from Debian GIS to the UbuntuGIS PPA and when Debian GIS stalled actively updated packages in the UbuntuGIS PPA, but those days are long gone.
