Hello.

Sorry for this interruption.
The version I installed shadowsocks-libev using apt, is 2.6.3+ds-1 amd64. Is that the latest one?
If not, what's the correct way to install and keep using the latest version?

Thanks a lot.

@hosiet Thanks for your reply. It seems that this is a known issue and will be resolved later?

Upgrading in official repository is unlikely to happen on published non-LTS Ubuntu (e.g., Ubuntu 16.10, Ubuntu 17.04, etc).

[scegg]

Yep, so just waiting for the release of 17.10 lol.

make install

service shadowsocks-libev start

Thanks @odkrys.
I guess I just leave it, waiting for 17.10 released.
Compiling manually will start a new repeat task chain to keep upgrading by one self. I'd like to do that with apt upgrade.

[odkrys]

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:max-c-lv/shadowsocks-libev
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install shadowsocks-libev

Were you tried this?
It works on my 16.04 vps.

[scegg]

It does not work for me. 17.04.
Error while apt update:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/max-c-lv/shadowsocks-libev/ubuntu zesty Release
404 Not Found

[odkrys]

add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful universe"
apt-get update
apt-get -t artful install shadowsocks-libev

I have no idea anymore, if you don't like installing packages form other version's repository.

[scegg]

Hmm, it may lead to some error for OS further upgrading. Thanks for your commands provided, but I just want to wait for 17.10 released.

[odkrys]

It comes form 17.10 repo. I don't think it will make compatible issue.
Anyway, it's up to you. Good luck.
