Monero Package Outdated

Asked by jeffro256

Hash: SHA512

Latest version of Monero in "monero" package is 0.17.2.0. The community has been on v0.18 since July 2020. The v0.17 -> v0.18 change was a hardfork change, which means that the "monero" package has been unusable for over a year.

I would be more than happy to help get this package updated to the current release v0.18.3.1, as I am currently funded to develop for the upstream project. Proof of community funding: https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/jeffro256-part-time-2022-q3.html and https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/jeffro256-full-time-2023Q3.html. My Github handle is @jeffro256 and my email is <email address hidden>. The current release v0.18.3.1 binaries can be downloaded at https://web.getmonero.org/downloads/ and the SHA256 sums can be verified at the repository https://github.com/monero-project/gitian.sigs/.

Thanks for your time!

If the package currently provided in an Ubuntu release is "unusable", then please create a bug report with the details.

If you want to provide the newest version of monero for older Ubuntu releases, then the best way is creating a PPA with your own package.

Can you help with this problem?
