X11 + OpenGL and other libraries
 

Hello,

Is there any standard place where we can find the latest
software packages.* Actually, I am tired of searching of
many packages for Ubuntu on the net.

Thanks,
csv

but what's wrong with just tracking hardy and doing apt-get update &&
apt-get upgrade every so often.

Latest as in "the latest upstream sources from the various free software
projects"? Freshmeat or Sourceforge would be good places to start.

On the other hand, if you are talking for software to be used with
Ubuntu, you would install the standard Ubuntu packages from menu
Applications -> Add/Remove, use menu System -> Administration ->
Synaptic, or one of the command line package managers like aptitude.
You can also look for packages at http://packages.ubuntu.com

Hi,

It seems that many packages are not upto-date and I don't know where I must look for the required package.

For example, I had very tough time identifying which
package contains Intrinsic.h in X11.


I wish there were a centralized place where only the
latest version were available. I wish at least X11 were packaged together in Ubuntu.

libxv-dev.

You can answer that question yourself using apt-file, but for me it's
easier to install wajig and then use the wajig package (wajig whichpkg
Intrinsic.h) and it spits out the package you need to install to get
that file.

Up-to-date in which respect? They are as up-to-date as can be done when
you expect a system that is tested and works. If you require the newest
sources to do development work on these libs, like X11-related stuff,
you will want to pull the source from the project's cvs/svn server
anyway.

As David wrote i the other reply, you can use apt-file for that, or
http://packages.ubuntu.com

Define "latest".

The majority of users only needs a tine part of the available X11
packages, and certainly needs no development headers. If you want to
develop on Ubuntu, you should familiarize yourself with how it works.
There is plenty of documentation available.
