qbitorrent deb 4.6.0 will be available for Jammy 22.04 lts?

Manfred Hampl suggests this article as an answer to your question:
FAQ #3037: “no rolling release”.

If you are looking for an update of the qbittorrent package in a PPA, then you have to contact the provider of the PPA directly (see the page for the PPA). The contents of PPAs are outside the influence and responsibility of the Ubuntu developers.

Which version (from which PPA) are you currently using?
The output of the command (to be executed in a terminal)

apt policy qbittorrent

will tell the sources that you use.

Thank you for the answer, I will ask the person who carries the ppa.

What is in the new version that you need so badly? Are you seeing issues with the current version you currently have?

Hello I have no problems with version 4.5.5 and its corresponding ppa, just wondering if you are going to update in jammy 22.04.03 lts, to 4.6.0 or if to have that new version has to update the ppa, as these are the packages that makes the program ubuntu.

Then why do you want to fix something that isn't broken...? You are blindly chasing version numbers.

I'm not chasing versions or numbers, I'm just asking if people who use Ubuntu 22.04.03 Lts Jammy like me, we will have the 4.6.0 version or if this is only for the next versions like 23.04, 23.10 or the next 24.04. I'm not asking to fix something that works, but if it will be updated. Nothing else.

There are two aspects to your question.

1. For the standard Ubuntu repositories, within responsibility of the Ubuntu developers, see FAQ #3037: “no rolling release”. No older Ubuntu release will receive a higher version than currently available, unless there is a specific reason justifying an exception.
The standard repositories for Ubuntu 24.04 (currently in development for publishing in April next year) will have qbittorrent 4.6.0 (or higher). (That has already been prepared.)

2. For everything coming from a PPA you have to ask the provider of the PPA. The Ubuntu developers do not have any influence on the decision whether the provider of a PPA adds a certain version of a piece of software to his Personal Package Archive (PPA).

This is not the right place for asking about the contents of PPAs.

Ok I am clear thanks and sorry for the inconvenience. Only comment that I do not know if it happens to more people, the magnets, in my case some of them not all, are giving me problems, although they have seeders, qbitorrent, stays looking for metadata. However it has happened to me that a new magnet, stays thinking, and the torrent of that magnet, has been to load it and start downloading .... I do not know if it is an error, or bug, but I just wanted to comment it, and I do not know if it is to comment it with you or the one that makes the ppa, which by the way I contacted them, but to date they did not respond, so I insisted here, I also asked in the qbitorrent forum, but no one responded either.

To conclude, if I have not misunderstood by reading your explanation, is that 22.04, stays with 4.5.5 and the next LTS, will already have 4.6.0. And on the other hand, it is the responsibility of the ppa, if they want to upgrade to 4.6.0 now, I have seen their ppa stable, and since August 30 nothing has been published, the unstable if I have seen some movement but have worked on it for bugs etc, but they are focused on 23.04, so they are not working for 22.04. Maybe it is, that no longer update to version 4.6.0, since this came out on October 22 ... if I have evidence of an appimage, but no snap.

For the problem with magnets I cannot help. In which version does that occur? In the Ubuntu-provided one or in a version from a PPA?

Parts of your second paragraph are fully correct, some parts aren't.

Yes, qbittorrent in the Ubuntu repositories for Ubuntu 22.04 will most probably stay on 4.5.5 forever.
The repositories for Ubuntu 24.04 will have 4.6.0 (or maybe even higher).

The rest of the paragraph: There is not a single "the PPA for qbittorrent" and not a single "they".

Whoever wants (and fulfills the prerequisites) can create a PPA and upload whatever version of software he wants.
There are two dozen PPAs listed in a search for qbittorrent https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=qbittorrent (some of the very outdated).

Each of these PPAs has a person (or team) responsible. I can only repeat again: Ask there and not here if you have questions to the contents of a PPA.

Ok, I don't ask here, but they don't answer me there either.

I have the ppa from this website

https://launchpad.net/~qbittorrent-team/+archive/ubuntu/qbittorrent-stable

which is this: deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable/ubuntu jammy main

The version is 4.5.5, I installed it according to what they say on that website. Those in the software store, there is a snap but is not official is a certain kern, the other is the deb, which is what I have, but installed by terminal and with the ppa of the web, I tell you above (which is the list that I have passed the one that says (qbittorrent-stable) The snap has edge version 4.6.0, but is not the official but Kern and then there is an app image, which provides the qbitorrent itself on its website.

Now, because I'm a bit confused, the one provided by ubuntu is the snap or which one.

I have the 4.5.5 with these features:
qt 5.15.3, libtorrent: 2.0.9.0, boost: 1.74.0, openSSL: 3.0.2 and zlib: 1.2.11.

The problem with magnets in my case is with package deb (qbitorrent stable)

For me I close the topic, since you have told me that it will probably stay in 4.5.5 for the remains.

I have the same issue with some torrents not starting or getting the metadata, and I'm using 4.6.0. I don't think it's an issue with qbittorrent.

Anyway, you could always build it yourself from the tarball (you don't even need to install it, you can run from the build dir): https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/Compilation:-Debian,-Ubuntu,-and-derivatives
The qbittorrent PPA gives you the prerequisite version of libtorrent-rasterbar and you don't need to build that yourself (just install the -dev).
