The version in Devuan Jessee will be the version that was currently
packaged at the time Debian Jessie was frozen. Devuan adheres to the same
release model as Debian - updates to a package which modify its
functionality in any way whatsoever are forbidden for the life of the
distribution, and security/stability fixes from a newer upstream must be
backported to the version released with Devuan.
Your options for more current packages are (in general order of preference):
* See if the jessie-backports repository has the newer version you need.
(jessie-backports is a repository of newer packages compiled against
released dependancies so as to be usable with jessie. It's recommended that
you set up pinning im such a manner as to only install from backports if
explicitly told to do so, otherwise you may upgrade more than you'd like
and possibly even break things)
* Find a third party repository compatible with jessie that has a current
version
* Build your own, current version of the package
* Build from source, install into /usr/local (if you go this route,
strongly consider using stow to manage your /usr/local hierarchy - this
doesn't register the package with dpkg, so if you need it to satisfy a
dependency in another package, it's not a good option)
