I effortlessly installed QGIS 2.4 and upgraded to 2.6, for my Linux Mint 16, because I just had to put http://qgis.org/debian in my repositories list and note that my distro was saucy
.
2.8 has been out for some time now, and QGIS nicely updated to the new version for several different debian distros, but...not saucy
.
I cannot figure out how to e-mail whatever volunteers do this and ask for saucy
to be added. I've attempted claiming to be other distros - they even updated for "precise" which is much older. But any older or newer and the upgrade won't go, it can't find various dependencies from other repositories.
Do I have to upgrade my Linux itself to get this QGIS upgrade to work? It's only about a year old.
