{{{#!div class="box" [[Image(https://xpra.org/icons/package.png)]] = Distribution Packages = And why you should generally not use them. A great explanation of the Debian / Ubuntu packaging mess can be found here: [https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/41085.html ​Matthew Garrett: There's more than one way to exploit the commons]. Debian's hand waving about backports is rightfully ignored here. Apart from the obvious danger of running versions without any security updates - which is documented below, there are other problems with downstream packages: * invalid and unnecessary package dependencies (ie: Fedora) * enabling untested options or dangerous codecs (all distros) * gratuitous patching etc The list of currently supported versions can be found here: [/wiki/Versions]. ---- This table was generated on the '''2020-01-17''' when {{{3.0.5}}} was the latest LTS version available. ||=Distribution=||=Variant=||=Version Shipped=||=Known Issues=|| ||Fedora||[https://getfedora.org/ Fedora 30 and 31]||[https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xpra 3.0.3]||OK: 3.0.5 in testing, you may want to add [http://rpmfusion.org/ rpmfusion]'s xpra-codecs-freeworld package to get all the codecs - only one problem: their packaging unmercifully conflict with the packages from xpra.org|| ||Ubuntu||[http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ Xenial aka 16.04]||[http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/xpra 0.15.8]||over 4 years without any fixes, known bugs and security vulnerabilities - '''do not use''', '''very dangerous''', missing components, etc|| ||Ubuntu||[http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ Bionic aka 18.04]||[http://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/xpra 2.1.3]||2.5 years without any fixes, numerous serious issues, '''dangerous''' || ||Ubuntu||[http://releases.ubuntu.com/19.10/ Eoan aka 19.10]||[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/eoan/+package/xpra 2.4.3]||buggy, 14 months without any fixes|| ||Debian||[https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ Buster]||[https://packages.debian.org/buster/xpra 2.4.3]||buggy, 14 months without any fixes || ||Debian||[https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/ Stretch]||[https://packages.debian.org/stretch/xpra 0.17.6]||3.5 years out of date, known bugs and security vulnerabilities - '''do not use''', '''very dangerous''', missing components, etc|| ||Gentoo||[http://www.gentoo.org/ Stable] ||[http://packages.gentoo.org/package/x11-wm/xpra 2.2.2]||Dire: 2 years out of date! || ||Gentoo||[http://www.gentoo.org/ Testing] ||[http://packages.gentoo.org/package/x11-wm/xpra 3.0.2]||Missing some important fixes, dubious patches applied|| ||||[https://www.archlinux.org/ Arch] ||[https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/xpra/ 3.0.5]||Great: fully up to date || To see the fixes that are missing, follow the "Commit log" links for each branch on the "Release Notes" section of the [/Versions/PendingFixes version / fixes page]. ---- This table was generated on the '''2017-03-18''' when {{{1.0.4}}} was the latest LTS version available.
