Why does ubuntu have a separate package for unison version 2.27.57?
- by intuited
The current ubuntu repo contains an extra set of packages for version 2.27.57 of the unison file sychronization utility:
$ aptitude search unison
p unison - A file-synchronization tool for Unix and W
p unison-gtk - A file-synchronization tool for Unix and W
p unison2.27.57 - A file-synchronization tool for Unix and W
p unison2.27.57-gtk - A file-synchronization tool for Unix and W
$ aptitude show '~nunison[^-]*$' | grep 'Package\|Version'
Package: unison
Version: 2.32.52-1ubuntu2
Package: unison2.27.57
Version: 2.27.57-2
What is the reason for this? Are there backwards incompatibilities in more recent versions of unison?
