[ubuntu-studio-devel] MuseScore 4

[Erich Eickmeyer]

Hi Paul,

Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so 
"latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only 
considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact 
bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.

Furthermore, that package comes unchanged from Debian, which means 
there isn't an Ubuntu developer that touches it. So, this is really up 
to if Debian picks it up, but then it will only land in a later 
release. Additionally, Debian is coming up on their bi-yearly freeze in 
which they begin their release process for their next version, so 
there's probably not a whole lot of activity to be happening until 
later this year once that freeze starts.

All of that to say it's entirely out of our hands at this point on the 
Ubuntu Studio level as we're not the ones dealing with it; we're just 
putting it on the .iso image.

I hope you understand and I hope that helps.
