Ubuntu
yaml-cpp package

Will there be an update to 0.6.1? How can I contribute?

Asked by Yunus on 2018-02-27

Hey there,

we will be using yaml-cpp for a scientific software project (in development). It would be great if the current version could be installed via `apt`.

Are there plans of updating this package? If not, could you point me to a description of how we could contribute? (Sorry, newbie here… :/)

Cheers,
Yunus

And comparable output on xenial (running both in a Docker container, apt-get update called)

I should have tried if the installation of 0.5.2 works at all; I thought if it is listed here it is part of the base repositories (universe etc.) anyway and would work straight away.

Do I have to allow that packages are downloaded from the development section?

Cheers
