  • bat

    A cat(1) clone with wings.

    • For instance, bat, an alternative to cat, is available in apt for Jammy at version 0.19.0, despite the github having a .deb for 0.21.0 and the Kinetic (22.10) repo also having 0.21.0. The .deb from github installed on my 22.04 system with zero issue.

  • yt-dlp

    Discontinued MOVE TO NIGHTLY BUILDS FROM YT-DLP. DO NOT USE (by ytdl-patched)

    • It's even worse for yt-dlp. Jammy is stuck at 2022.04.08, and until a couple of days ago, the jammy-backport was stuck at 2022.05.18. This is despite the fact that a working .deb for the latest version (maintained by Unit 193 same as the others) exists on the kinetic (21.10) repo.

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
