In general, for most software I stick with the LTS repos however for individual pieces that I need newer versions of (puppet, ansible) I tend to look for official repositories offered by the software provider[*].

In this case apt.puppetlabs.com is what I’m using. <https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/install_puppet/install_debian_ubuntu.html> has good instructions on how to add the relevant repo.

My UGX 2 SHS.

[*] To be clear if the only way to get up-to-date packages for Ubutu was to use a third party repo (neither the software dev nor ubuntu repos) then I am more likely to roll out my own (private) repo. If the software isn’t “important” enough for me to do that then I’d just whine at Ubuntu to update their version.
