I hope you are not using intermediate releases; and xenial with supported upstart in main, will be fully supported until 2021 + ESM
At that point you will be free to e.g. use 22.04 LTS with e.g. self- compiled upstart, no? Removing upstart from artful, means that we will only support upstart as is in xenial, upto xenial EOL and EOE. No we do not plan to support upstart as upstream, or in Ubuntu any more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-touch-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1649310 Title: RM Upstart, obsolete, superseded by systemd Status in cgmanager package in Ubuntu: New Status in lxc-android-config package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-touch-meta package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ubuntu-touch-session package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in unity8-desktop-session package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in upstart package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in upstart-watchdog package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: In 18.04 LTS src:upstart should not be part of Ubuntu.
