Hi! I know we had this talk several times in the past (including myself): Debian repos still serve Kea 1.1.0 by default on stretch.
As the 1.1.0 release is unsupported by the devs (at least they said so), this needs to change. I know buster has 1.4.0 in repos and there are also newer releases in stretch-backports. A lot of projects had these problems with Debians style of packaging (which itself is perfectly fine, I like it most of the time). Debians guideline says, that a release should not be modified by packages that break existing installations (for example removing support for specific setups). At least for my Kea setups, that has never been the case. I started with 1.1.0 and upgraded to 1.4.0 without any problem (it fixed more problems than creating new ones). If Debian devs like to keep such ancient versions in it's repo instead of providing one that is supported by the devs, would it be possible to have an official repo? PowerDNS has the same: They provide their own binaries while it's still possible to choose the one, that the distribution forces you to use. While this should be fixed, Sury seems to have taken things in his hand and provides unofficial builds in a public repository: https://packages.sury.org/kea/pool/main/i/isc-kea/ He also provides all sorts of PHP builds for which he is famous. I would realy like to see an official repo or recent builds of Kea in the distribution tree. Feedback is welcome!
