<div style="">The only Maven in Hardy, Hardy-Updates and Harvey-Backports is 2.0.8 ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/ )<br>
<br>
If the previous admin knew what they were doing and worked exclusively within the Ubuntu paradigm, it should be trivial to upgrade to the newest long term release (10.04 was released today). Then you'd get Maven 2.2.1.<br>
<br>
If they didn't, you should drive to wherever they work now and give them a smack. :)<br>

<div>Hmm, I'm guessing that box hasn't been updated in at least 5 months... :-)
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Generally, you'll want to find out if backports has a newer version available. Or, just upgrade the whole box to a more recent version of Ubuntu (or perhaps a different distro altogether...)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If any of those is not possible, you can uninstall it from apt-get and install it from source or binary distribution directly from where you got it. Note that this is less preferable from a support standpoint, but for this particular machine, it should
be fine.</div>

Ok, I'm sure this is simple, but I need to update maven2 to at least v2.0.9. It's on a server running Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS, which has maven v2.0.8. I've tried the following:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>apt-get update ;# to update the lists of packages.</div>
<div>apt-get install maven2</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I do "mvn -v", it still shows v2.0.8.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've downloaded the .tar.gz from <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jaunty/maven2" target="_blank">http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/jaunty/maven2</a>, which is v2.0.9. But I haven't installed it yet. I'm saving that as a last resort.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is a box I inherited, so I don't know the status of any updates. Note, this is the server version of Ubuntu, so no X.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any help would be greatly appreciated!<br clear="all">
