| Guest87 | I apologize if this has been asked, or if it's obvious and I'm missing it. I would like to use netplan version .99 or newer with Debian 10, only .95 is available from apt. Is there an alternative repo, or am I better off building it? Are there build instructions anywhere? | 18:55 |
|---|---|---|
| EtherMan | Guest87: You know Bullseye is Stable right? | 19:07 |
| EtherMan | And there's no way within the Debian ecosystem to do what you're asking. You can always compile it yourself or use external repos if you find one, but you then lose the whole point of using a Debian Stable release, especially OldStable. So I'd highly advice that you should simply upgrade to current Stable and save yourself the headache. | 19:11 |
| kjetilho | Debian version numbers and names are so confusing. I never remember what the current number is. You are saying Debian 10 is ... Squeeze, which is oldstable now? | 19:13 |
| EtherMan | Debian 10 is Buster, and is oldstable yes. Debian 11 is Bullseye and is Stable atm | 19:13 |
| kjetilho | oh, right! Squeeze is truly ancient. | 19:14 |
| EtherMan | Indeed. That's what... 6 or 7 | 19:14 |
| kjetilho | right. 6. then Wheezy 7, Jessie 8, Stretch 9 (which I was thinking of) | 19:15 |
| EtherMan | Yep, 6. Then 7 was Wheezy, then Jessie, then Stretch, and then Buster :) | 19:15 |
| kjetilho | the versioning and naming of Ubuntu is the best thing about it :) | 19:16 |
| EtherMan | Yes because 1ubuntu258y tells me absolutely EVERYTHING I need to know that it's v14.38 of some software. While Ubuntu's numbering on the dist itself is fine, they're basically intentionally disrupting the apt repos. | 19:18 |
| Guest87 | I will see about upgrading to Bullseye, unfortunately it's not my decision. Otherwise, I don't mind building and I'm going to try that first, I just haven't gotten a chance to actually give it a shot. I was hoping to find instructions or notes because I'm a bit of a newbie. I don't mind fighting my way through it though. | 19:23 |
| Guest87 | I'm also bad at IRC so I likely missed messages at some point. I apologize. | 19:27 |
| EtherMan | If it's not your choice what dist you're running, then it's likely not your choice what version of netplan to use either... | 19:28 |
| Guest87 | I wouldn't be asking if that were the case; I'm getting the feeling that I'm not in the right place to ask for such help though. Sorry to have been a bother! Cheers. | 19:31 |
| kjetilho | hmm, they were pretty thin-skinned I think. or perhaps altogether too humble. oh well. | 19:53 |
