Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Who guarantees you that nothing was added to the deb? i wonder if there’s some kind of checksum a compiler can generate when there’s specific source code that you can compare to the binary? anyone tried this before?

What you're looking for is reproducible builds, which result in the same exact binary every time you compile. I know that Tor Browser uses reproducible builds.

There was also a second question, which banana answered.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Yes. And the debs in Ubuntu are cooked by the same people who provide the sourcecode of the same. I trust their sourcecode. I don't trust their debs. Who guarantees you that nothing was added to the deb?
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
The question was: Do you have any idea why it's no longer in Debain 8 repo? The answer was: Yes Trisk Spellian - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=760853
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
My rule is: whatever software external to the OS repository goes compiled! I don't trust external debs becuse I'm maaad and paranoid :P

Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Do you have any idea why it's no longer in Debain 8 repo? It's also not in Ubuntu Vivid. I'm worried that maybe some part of Jitsi is no longer free software or something.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
compile it! Jitsi wasn't included in Debian 8. I had to compile it. Sid's version is 2.4. The latest stable source code is 2.8.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do bug upgrades work in Trisquel?
Your question is really one of how Ubuntu's updates work. Trisquel pulls in the updates. If you experience crashes, report them as bugs so that they can be fixed in maintenance updates. But generally, you're right: Don't expect major updates between versions. It's why I like Trisquel.

One of my favorite programs, Jitsi, is still near unusable on Trisquel. Or at least the repo version is near unusable. There are already a couple of other threads here in the Trisquel forum about Jitsi crashing. The Jitsi version in the Trisquel repo is 2.4.4997 But if you look here: https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi/debian/ You'll see there are several new stable releases that have since come out. Now, I know that we won't get any of them until the next release of Trisquel, but surely, the crashing bug has been addressed by now. Why no bug fix to our version of Jitsi? How does that process work? Are we doomed to have a crummy unusable version of Jitsi in our repos until the next release of Trisquel?
