Ideally, yes.
The problem with the repo version is its age. For Debian Buster the repo
version is 2.1.0 released on Feb 12 2018.
v2.1.4 (Jul 15 2019) fixed numerous issues and the latest release is
2.1.6 (Apr 18 2020). Look here for releases and fixes.

Compiling from Github sources is simple provided the steps in the
documentation are accurately followed.

Hi, newbie here. I can't get Xastir to load properly on my Pi 3.
Excerpt below from https://xastir.org/index.php/HowTo:Raspbian [1]
When I asked for the bootstrap command to run I got a response of
root@raspberrypi:~/src/Xastir# ./bootstrap.sh 6) Removing
autom4te.cache directory... 5) Running aclocal..../bootstrap.sh: 15:
./bootstrap.sh: aclocal: not foundroot@raspberrypi:~/src/Xastir#
Can anyone let me know what didn't load correctly?
Thanks
GET XASTIR SOURCE CODE FROM THE GITHUB REPOSITORY
In this method, you get your source code directly from the repository
the developers use to work on the software. Here's the step-by-step
method for getting it this way.
You can make different choices here for where you want to store your
code. This example puts it in a src directory under the user's home
directory:
mkdir ~/src cd ~/src
Then issue the following command to retrieve the latest Xastir code:
git clone https://github.com/Xastir/Xastir.git [2]
The above command could take a while to finish if you're on a slow
link, as there are a lot of files to download.
* Run bootstrap to generate Makefile.am and configure:
cd Xastir ./bootstrap.sh
