Start 9 Nextcloud version two version numbers behind

Services Support

Is it typical for the Start 9 NC version (30.0.11) to run this far behind the actual latest release (32.0.0)? I know and appreciate that the packaging for Start 9 services is being done for free by volunteers but just wondered if there was an intentional delay or is it just lack of resources.

I’m no developer but like to experiment and learn so in my spare time I may look at dabbling in packaging something for Start 9. I see it is based on Debian. My daily OS is openSUSE but I guess I can run Debian in a VM for this task and follow then it’s easier to just follow the steps in the manual without having to transpose some of the commands or directory paths.

Nextcloud is a very large and unwieldy piece of software, with many moving parts. We favor stability over cutting edge features. It takes a lot of work, and therefore a long time to package and test new versions. So yes, it’s typical for the Nextcloud package, you’ll find in the Marketplace, to be a few versions behind. If you want to get involved, learning typescript is the place to start. Github is the place to collaborate.

Thanks for clarifying and pointing me to typescript.
