@ memo:-
I have to agree with Mike. Compiling will, indeed, always give you the very latest versions of
everything.....
Please remember ONE thing?

We're all of us volunteers here; users, just like yourself. From the tone of your post it sounds rather as though you feel you have a
right to expect somebody else to put in the hard work , and to just drop it in your lap for you.
It doesn't work like that, matey. So either do your research before you start making demands like that, or
think before you post. Life is full of 'givers' and 'takers'; do you really
want folk thinking you belong in the second group???
Please be aware (if you're not already, that is) that the entire Linux 'ethos' is rather different to that found within the Windoze 'ecosphere', on t'other side of the fence.
With Windoze, what with having to pay for not only the OS itself, but also many of the better apps/programs, you're in a supplier/consumer relationship. Having parted with your 'hard-earnt', this does confer upon you certain consumer 'rights'; namely, that of
expecting help when things don't go according to plan.
On this side of 'the fence', most software - including the OS itself - is totally free. It doesn't cost you a penny. That being said, because of this fact, you are in absolutely
no position to make demands upon anyone. These guys don't owe you a
thing.
I'm going to make a suggestion; one which may help you to understand things a wee bit better. Have a read of this:-
"Linux is NOT Windows"
It may have been written almost 15 years ago.....but the content is still as relevant today as it was back in 2006. Do please read it through, because it
does explain a lot of what you may have misunderstood.
