 Good question, I'm afraid I don't know why it works for you but not for
 me.
 QGIS now has a fast (4 month) release cycle, and the improvements I've
 seen since 2.2 are really awesome. On the other hand since 2.8 there have
 been issues that required patching and several bugs made into the release
 (I had to apply some patches to 2.10).


 This makes me wonder: Would it be useful/feasible/desirable to have two
 ports, a 'qgis' port and a 'qgis-dev' port. The 'qgis' port would always
 be the LTR (currently 2.8), while the 'qgis-dev' release would upgrade to
 every major versions (2.12, 2.14, etc...). This way, users with a desire
 for stability have their port while users how want to use the latest
 features have their own port.
