What package to install?
It is not uncommon to find several packages with a same base name, but different suffixes. That suffix, by convention, defines the source used:
- (no suffix) : Usually takes the source code from the latest release.
- -bin : Takes an already compiled binary source from the latest release. It can be an official release binary or a package in another format (DEB, RPM…).
- -git : Takes the source code from the ongoing development version.
