Outdated package versions question
Posted: 14. Nov 2021, 14:15
General question, but many of the packages in both slapt-get and Sourcery are outdated.
I had to build vim from source in order to use the plugin manager I wanted to use.
I am now faced with building node[js] from source for one of my vim plugins to work correctly, and also for web-dev related work. Node in slapt and sourcery is on v.8.x when the current version is 12.x. That's a very old version of an essential (for me) package.
Vim builds fast, but nodejs takes so long I've never actually waited on it completing (like hours).
I do get updates notifications on this installation, but few packages appear to be updated (mostly Firefox and CA-certs).
Is there a reason for slapt-get and Sourcery not getting many package updates?
Am i using an outdated mirror? >> http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/sali ... ware-14.2/
Are we just waiting for 15.1?
What's up?
