[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Not actual version of Geanie in Ubuntu repository (#2783)

[elextr]

Well I said all Linux distros are different, and that one is definitely "different" :smile:.  It shows the diversity that makes it impossible for us to provide binaries for all Linuxes.  

The thing is I think you are expecting something that neither Puppy nor Ubuntu offer, upgrading versions of software in existing releases, all they offer is critical bugfixes, not new versions.  And the fact that this particular distro hasn't made a newer release and ISO is not something you should expect Geany or other projects to compensate for.

To get a continually updated distro you need whats called a "rolling" distro that continuously updates things (and occasionally breaks stuff by doing so, thats the tradeoff).  But that as a USB stick I don't know of one.

But its not anything thats a Geany issue, so closing.
