Re: [Flightgear-devel] Ubuntu repositories
Update: the backports will only update it to FlightGear 2.6.0, since that's the latest version available for any Ubuntu distro. Therefore, I'm not planning on updating previous versions to 2.4.0.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Ubuntu repositories
The Ubuntu process/policy is that all software for a particular distro (it looks like you might be 12.04 or 11.10) is frozen right before the release, and only security updates and major new releases are updated. However, it is possible to request a newer version to be submitted into the main Ubuntu archives. The only thing here is that users will manually have to enable adding unsupported software from Software Sources and configure it to have backported software to be automatically installed (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports) I'll look into updating FlightGear through Backports. On another note, I have the latest FlightGear version available for Oneiric and above in my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/flightgear). You'll have to manually add the PPA (see the page for instructions).

[Flightgear-devel] Ubuntu repositories
Why do the ubuntu repositories only have flightgear 2.4 in them? Is there way to update them to the newest version.
