Hi Dor,
I was agreeing with you that the latest package should be included in 15.10 version of ubuntu. And referring to the part that you are using a long term support release of ubuntu which was released in april of 2014 ( ubuntu releases long term release versions every two years ) and since these releases are meant to be stable versions the packages are not updated until complete testing is done.
Installing a deb file does introduce a security risk, but the risk should be taken based on package stability itself. Installing deb files which are not in the repo sometimes is inevitable as the package may never be added to the official repos due to multiple reasons for example google chrome browser...so it is not that much of a risk..
Hopefully this time I was able to be more clear in my email.
Thanks
Hi Rajeev,I didn't understand your first two sentences..Will the Ubuntu developers team add the recent version of "wallch" to the next version of Ubuntu 14 ?I'm not sure if I should install a package which is not from the official Ubuntu source.. (?)Doesn't that introduces a security risk to my system?Thank you!Regards,Dor.2015-09-04 21:58 GMT+03:00 Rajeev Bhatta <techie.rajeev@yahoo.in>:Hi Dor,
It would be good if the latest package is added to the upcoming version of ubuntu. One thing I notice is that you are running the lts version of ubuntu and as far as I understand the packages are slowly updated based on the stability of the packages and their impact to the os stability.
I am not sure if the latest package is available in 15.04 but you should be able to install the latest package from a deb package. I found a link to it in launchpad https://launchpad.net/~wallch/+archive/ubuntu/wallch-daily/+build/7835152/+files/wallch_4.187-0~211~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb
Thanks
