Followed the guide: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/linux_repositories.html
but there’s only one latest version of ST available in the repo. Why is that? How do I install 3136? That’s the download link?
Only one version of Sublime Text in ubuntu apt repo?

The concept of latest is that there is always only one version that is the latest.
3136 - that you mentioned - isn’t it.
It’s 3143 for stable. Or 3144 for dev builds.Preformatted text

3143 is pretty far from being stable, please see my other posts.
Previous stable should be also available. The whole idea behind repos is to allow me to install whatever version I want or prefer.

You can always go to the direct downloads and change the URL if you want to roll back.

I already did. But what’s the idea behind this repo - to provide only the current stable build?
When a new version come out you’ll remove 3143?

Mostly it was set up this way because tracking every dev or stable build and generating repos with all versions takes a bunch of changes to how our infrastructure is handled, and I believe I also ran into issues where some package managers were freaking out when more than one version of a package was in the repo.
Honestly, I don’t recall the exact details, but after spending a ton of time getting all of the repos up and running and updating properly with signatures and all, I was happy just that we could provide 95% of Linux users a good upgrade experience.

3142 tended to be a quite stable version and no one ever posted such crazy and maybe serious issues then during the last few days. Many people were complaining about not retrieving updates for a long time. So I can understand why 3143 was considered stable enough to publish.
From my point of view the only strange/serious issue right now was the update process itself. Not sure why, but 3143 seems to have some trouble with its dependency packages for any reason. But with that solved it runs well for Windows. Not sure why OSX seems so buggy.
