</div>That is going to be largely in the hands of those managing the<br>
repositories I suspect - you should ask the maintainer of the NUT<br>
package.<br>

<br>now, I've not planned to update the MGE repository for now, and I don't think my Ubuntu friends will backport 2.4 to intrepid and olders.<br><br>so the path forward for you will be a jaunty upgrade when available...<br>

<br>
</div>That's always a personal/business call. If there have been any<br>
security vulnerabilities fixed since 2.2.2 (that haven't been back<br>
ported by the package maintainer) then I would say you should.<br>
Otherwise, only if you have a problem with your 2.2.2 install or it is<br>
lacking a feature in the current version that you need.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>that said, there is nothing new on the SOLA front.<br>so have a look at the NEWS file (also linked in my announce mail) and check if you have some need.<br>if you're running intrepid x86, I can send some packages though...<br>
