install gtkmm-4.0 in ubuntu 20.04

Why can't I do this with

sudo apt install libgtkmm-4.0-dev

It appears to be available in pkgs.org. I know I can install libgtkmm-3.0-dev using the above so why not 4.0?


Solution 1:

Any Ubuntu release has a fixed set of software available in the repositories. Only one version is available - except web browsers and other critical components - and that version was decided some time before the actual release.

According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gtkmm the gtkmm version available for Ubuntu 20.04 is 3.24.0-1.
