When does a package in the repository get updated to the latest version

[Johhny Blue]

Hi,

 

I want to use the latest version of mpg123. The version in the repository is 1.20.1-2.

 

I have compiled the latest version myself (1.23.8) , but I am curious as to the timing and process of when packages get updated.

 

Thanks for your input.

 

V.

Packages come from upstream distributions, in your case - Debian Jessie: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/mpg123

 

Only kernel, u-boot and some hardware specific packages are provided from Armbian repository.
