If you treat all Linux distributions as one "operating system", then you are mistaken. There is nothing in repository concept that would prevent inclusion of the most recent version of software, even on the day of release. If repository do not contain newest version of software, it's always due to politics or lack of manpower. And if you are unhappy with internal politics of your distribution, perhaps you should try another one? Also it should be noted that in Android and iOS world, repository is often the only viable way to distribute your software among your users. Therefore, software vendors approach repository administration to include their software and the day software package hit repository is considered official "release date". In Linux world, software vendors release their software by other means, such as personal webpages, source repositories and third-party sites. They often don't care about inclusion of software in repositories and most certainly do not coordinate releases with administrators of repositories. * Repositories are often split into branches, so it might appear that there are few of them; but as long as you can switch between branches with relative ease, I think we can talk about single repository. Yes, repositories in Windows/Mac/Android/iOS differ considerably to repositories in Linux. But these differences are always political, institutional, social or psychological, never technical. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
