Ubuntu
otrs2 package

No Updates for Precise?

Asked by kakohari

Hi there,

is there a reason for the otrs-Package not to be updated to the latest official release (3.2-something, as it is for 13.10?)? I haven't found an otrs3 package, which name would match the actual release a bit better ;-)
Btw: Thanks for maintaining!

Kind regards
Kai

Because the updates the LTS releases are less frequent and if the gains are few then the package will remain at that version. If there are significant gainsbug and security fixes then the package will be updated.

You may find a PPA with the newer version.

The default Repositories included with Ubuntu are maintained by Canonical and a few third-parties. They have to first evaluate all software and updates before they are allowed.

However that's why there are PPA Repositories that you can subscribe to. Most software developers maintain a PPA so users can get the latest updates as soon as they're available. You can usually find the PPA for a program by checking the Developer's webpage.

Can you help with this problem?
