>Official releases will never be updated except for security or serious usability issues.
For the most part, only critical bug or security fixes are added to older releases. These are known as Stable Release Upgrades (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) However, there is another possibility, which is known as backports. In this case, a package is taken from a newer release and rebuilt for an older one. It is then made available in the -backports repo, which is part of the official archive, albeit not enabled by default. Since keepass2 2.37+dfsg-1 is available in bionic (the upcoming 18.04), it might be possible to backport this to older Ubuntu releases. For details on how to do this, please follow the instructions for "Requesting a Backport" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571023 Title: Packaged version is out of date To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/keepass2/+bug/1571023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
