I have the issue in development, where lot of features require 4.10
Can I upgrade without rebuild everything from sources?
Hi,
That would be more a question for Debian…
I would strongly recommend to use the distro’s provided version only.
For example, recent gtk versions require (among other things) a recent mesa too for rendering, so you may get a lot of unexpected issues.
You may want to look at flatpak, it allows to run recent softwares and libraries in a container, i.e. without affecting the rest of the system.

Yes, maybe I’m dependent of entire environment where launching the GTK app, so need to upgrade everything… maybe Arch or Fedora is better choice for development needs.
Debian stable is not a good development environment unless you are explicitly targeting Debian stable.
The recommendation is to use Flatpak as a development environment for Linux.
