Thread: How do I get newer software on older base OS?
i apologize if has been posted already, wasn't sure how phrase issue.
have server running hardy , need install scala version 2.7 or greater. however, 1 in repos hardy version 2.2 or 2.3. i'd avoid building scala source , wondering protocol install new version on older os.
what's 'ubuntu' or 'debian' way handle this?
download deb somewhere? going put me in dependency hell?
why? linux "open source," power , freedom.
don't scared, basic linux 101 skill, , documented: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/compilingeasyhowto
(or can go on scala web page , see recommend: http://www.scala-lang.org/)
