Plugins not at latest versions

Hi gang, me again, just wondering why lot's of the plugins in OMV are not at there latest version. Example, TransmissionBT, OwnCloud, etc.

Also, how do you get the true version # of a plugin installed?

Thanks,

They are all there on my system. Maybe you are getting an error in apt-get update. Try it from the command line.

Hi ryecoaaron, I ran the apt-get update, no errors and I'm pointing to the debian servers in Canada.

Can you explain a bit more thoroughly? Do you mean plugins or the packages the plugin uses?

I'm going to guess you mean the packages provided by Debian. I think you should read this to get a better understanding of why Debian don't always have the latest.

We could of course package the latest versions of things ourselves, but I don't want to, and I'm pretty sure no-one has the time for it. That is time better spent on trying to keep plugins as stable as possible with the little time over we have.

Hi HK-47, I mean the version of the software which comes from aplugin, let's say TransmissionBT is at version 2.82 which on the internet, version 2.84 is the latest. I know it's takes a lot of time to integrate and test new plugin versions, just wanted to know if it was because the newer version didn't work or just not enough time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi HK-47, I did read the link that you provided but I always figured that the operating system should not control which software version you use.

I know it makes everything stable but so does new version of applications which adds features and fixes bugs.
