[Xastir] Confused..HELP

[Ray]

Ideally, yes.

The problem with the repo version is its age. For Debian Buster the repo 
version is 2.1.0 released on Feb 12 2018.
v2.1.4 (Jul 15 2019) fixed numerous issues and the latest release is 
2.1.6 (Apr 18 2020). Look here for releases and fixes. 
https://github.com/Xastir/Xastir/releases

Compiling from Github sources is simple provided the steps in the 
documentation are accurately followed.
