Multiple distributions is a result of the freedom to choose what to make available (distributors) and to choose what to use (users). Also, note that you are not locked into using only what is packaged in the distribution, but can add or delete packages as you choose. Therefore, the answer to your question is: Install the package directly from the developers and then you may get their support. > -- > Best regards, > Strong. >
