Recently there was a news that VLC has been upgraded to version 2.1.0 and added support to many new formats and fixed some versions
I am using debian and I want to upgrade my VLC on my box. I had the debian backports repository in my sources.list and I ran the following command to install debian
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install vlc
It said that my VLC has already been installed to the latest version (VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e)). So that means the latest version of VLC has not been incorporated in the repository yet.
So my question is, is there any trusted repository that I can use on debian to install VLC 2.1.0. I don't want to use the source, as I want it to get updated automatically. Even the official VLC site asks to use the official debian backports repository for downloading latest version.
How do I install version 2.1.0
sudo apt-get update
and then try again and see if the new version is listed or not. It could also be a delay in the rep getting the new version listed, it happens. So as suggested by @Ramhound you can for now use the source or just wait until its listed.
