Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) LTS ships April 23, but it still only has Darktable 2.6.3 in the official repositories.

As an LTS (Long Term Support) it will be supported for 5 years (10 years for paid support).  Doubt you want to be supporting new users on 2.6.3 next year and beyond?  (Ubuntu rarely updates its repositories with major releases, only bug fixes, ie. darktable 3.0.1 - or even 3.0.0 - could get updated through to 3.0.9, but never 2.x to 3.x.)

Ubuntu 20.04 went into Beta yesterday (4/3) with release on 4/23 following FinalFreeze and RC1 on 4/16.

I'm only a beta tester (Ubuntu MATE), and just raising a flag.  If 3.0.1 (or 3.0.0) has been submitted at your end and it is just not getting through, if you would give me some info to work on I'll see what I can make happen.  (Ubuntu MATE includes darktable as a 1-click install.)

the darktable developers' mailing list is probably not the right place to ask this question. There is very little what darktable developers can do to get a specific darktable version into any Linux distribution. You have to kindly ask the Ubuntu maintainers to update darktable for the focal release. According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/darktable you may reach them via ubuntu-m...@lists.ubuntu.com
This Ubuntu web side also mentions the Debian PhotoTools Maintainers.


Regards,

Heiko
