Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask whether Electrum will be updated to the new 2.0 version in the trisquel repos, or should I install manually if I want to upgrade?

I know that normally software versions track the upstream Ubuntu, but since Electrum was instroduced specially for Trisquel, I thought the rules might be different.

Can someone confirm one way or another?

Thanks.

My guess is no.

But then, since Abrowser/Icecat seems to be getting updates....I don't know.

Trisquel gets punctually all the essential security updates. So..sure, the browsers must get updates!!
I think electrum is not an essential part of Trisquel. you should compile it by yourself. I may be wrong though..
cheers

It's python, so it doesn't need to be compiled. :)

I stand corrected. Never used it. Don't need it - I have some coins from ex-jugoslavia if you are interested.. very cheap and doesn't require pithonius! :P

Actually, that's not technically true. Python code does need to be compiled, but to bytecode (*.pyc) that is interpreted, rather than machine code, and the Python interpreter compiles source automatically so you don't have to think about it.

Ok, I'll upgrade manually.

Thanks for your help.
