The challenge is that between stable releases, jenkins changes alot; so say we shipped the current stable release on release day - in +3 months time the codebase will have potentially changed so radically, backporting security or critical bug fixes because very time consuming; I've also found that sometimes this also required new dependencies to be packaged. - -- James Page Ubuntu and Debian Developer james.p...@ubuntu.com jamesp...@debian.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJTHwTiAAoJEL/srsug59jD8BoP/3Tevv4QiWfbftrTmrkOtjWY ms2zB3kSa0cSs3KbvibAg9BS+alQ2ofc6rs2SfYcpyP0P2AiUVKLTAeLpxQyWBTy jtlOjF6X/axe1Hhw0JFtrQhhJumTsJt7sTl0CUpiC/NhPxo5ypYM2RCWEdA6POwq GLRtVzOueq42k2AGwQxJp6EW/kH/uSCkc9KlYqAI2m6adoUkjtoLAYYGAqpt+PAH tLZFHdhLAVwG7Cvo7ZAvSmJ+UPasyyMtHJaA5IJbD9gjlU9dxLC/2i/vXkFusdY4 1rwmebpeIGse8XGD0VOMH9jGILYyPJcoSnqKXeK+X+a9O/8jtM8TmSnBSJeYEXFk Oa0rot0Wh/Oc2qK7k3o6S/6ef6AmHkYiU5VbjJ8nnMFyzH0rYaWFUSaAjS/YknS/ NMg5M2zJIphAio3MJfSkvAsjc/yj97GdJS17xGQNHQErLsmcesVc4BFlU9CJD/PA kfaLMoQ6EEohEKKWTOVow+DLyW9dSF3QxbbtrEekbfmzvtzMuHE9s44DvhsA9d16 UH+/nlA9Io/OEox+lVVAzgKcLK6SMtkXyr/NFFfAcwCEiux4A7bkXfC4h6D2wku1 Tp6t8rP1FGc1oVKjvn2YWBaaUQiwg+7YcJyQgPOdGhVEHyZRX/7vUxV8oLyk6Kt/ Tj67MbjEZ8ztogku/HF3 =iFCC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
