KPackage Bug Fixes ?

[Incomputent]

KPackage Bug Fixes - how do I work out which ones my system needs?

I don't want to get into a situation where I have loads of useless things on my machine - might as well go back to the dark side if that happens :P

So how do I figure this out - see I am a Kubuntu numpty

Re: KPackage Bug Fixes ?

It depends . What repositories you have enabled and how bleeding edge do you want to be. More of the repositories > FAQ: Repositories (link list).

The (K)Ubuntu policy /1/:

Ubuntu releases a new version of its OS every 6 months. After a release, the version of all packages stays constant for the entire 6 months. For example, if Ubuntu ships with OpenOffice.org 2.0.x, it will remain at OpenOffice.org 2.0.x for the entire 6-month release cycle, even if a later version gets released during this time. The Ubuntu team may apply important security fixes to 2.0.x, but any new features or non-security bugfixes will not be made available.

You will get only the important security fixes if you don't enable the optional repositories.
