Because every new version is carefully compiled from source, tested and integrated with the rest of the Debian system. It takes a bit of time to get 50,000 packages working together smoothly and reliably. While that work is underway new upstream versions are sometimes released too late to be included in the next Debian release. Such packages are often available from the Backports archive. -- John Hasler [email protected] Elmwood, WI USA
