The conservative Debian approach guarantees that any package from its repository works well. Is that a problem? Usually not, unless you desperately need some new feature. On the other hand, look at GCC where Raspbian Jessie is at version 4.9.2 and version 6.1 is already available from the GCC website, so Raspbian (and Debian) is 2 major versions behind. That doesn't sound too bad, some minor differences. The latest stable release at the GIMP website is 2.8.16. Raspbian is really Debian stable (version 8, codename Jessie), so any software package in Raspbian has the same version as in Debian.īut due to the strict Debian policy the version in Debian stable is often not the very latest version available from the original developer.įor example, the GIMP version in Raspbian Jessie is 2.8.14. Note that packages found in the Raspbian repository can be several versions older that what available for desktop versions of Linux.
