Hello,
I've noticed that packages in 8.10 are generally older than packages shipped by other distros.
I recognize the need for stability, but I think the best way to improve it would be to ship more mature versions of code.
Deluge, for example, is at 1.1.1, and the latest Ubuntu package is 0.5.9.3.
Geany is at .15, and the Ubuntu package is at .14.
Are there solutions, such as unofficial repos, that can provide newer packages?
thank you for your time
