That said though, there are ways of getting the versions you need on Lenny, I'd imagine.

You could probably go grab the sources (maybe even ready made packages) from the Python and Django sites.

You may need to do some compiling if you grab sources, depends on if you want to get into that sort of thing or not. It's not hard, but some people might prefer to just upgrade to Squeeze -- is Squeeze supported by Bitfolk? Not 100% on that, perhaps someone else can confirm this? :)

Debian Squeeze has the package versions you're after according to packages.debian.org... 2.5.2 and 1.0.2 are the latest versions released for Lenny by the Debian project.

Hi,

Having installed some packages for a server that I want to run, I think that the versions supplied by http://apt-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com are older than I need. In particular, I need later versions of python and Django. Those on the server are 2.5.2 and 1.0.2 respectively, and I need 2.6.6 and 1.2.3. I used the apt-get and aptitude tools but these confirm that the latest version is what I have already installed. Are these the latest versions available with Debian Lenny?  I can't see what parameter I could use with apt-get in order to look elsewhere for the later versions. If not, is it OK to edit the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a non-cached repository?

Thanks for any advice, and apologies for all the questions. I am just setting things up and am keen to get the server working!


Ian.
