The server is more difficult to define as a single "thing" than the desktop. We've taken the view that the best service we can provide to the free software community is to ensure that Ubuntu's server offering is highly modular, so you can start with something minimalist (the out of the box ex

Re: Updates to Mesa in an LTS - How do you get one?

2009-04-16 Thread Mark Shuttleworth
I think being on an RC, as opposed to a final release, is as awkward for us as it is for everyone else. It makes all of our updates harder, because the codebase is unique to us, it's not a release that upstream cares about. So, in this case, I think it's a perfect candidate for -proposed, which is
