But it is not really stable. There are many bugs that have been fixed since then, one of them caused Xastir to segfault when using server ports. That's the problem with sticking to old versions. If you check the release notes (if Curt figures out how to post them), there is quite a list of bugs that have been fixed in the year and a half since 1.9.4 was released. > Tom Russo wrote: > > On Fri, Feb 05, 2010 at 09:47:55AM -0800, we recorded a bogon-computron > > collision of the <[email protected]> flavor, containing: > >> On Fri, 5 Feb 2010, Chris wrote: > >> > >>> With a bunch of people running Ubuntu, why not just 'sudo apt-get > >>> install xastir' ? > >>> > >>> Is the version shipped with 9.10's repositories lacking some major > >>> features? > >> Can't answer that as I don't run Ubuntu nor know what version of > >> Xastir binary they have. > > > > Because the Ubuntu repositories routinely stick at old versions.
