Hmm. A whole new upstream won't be accepted for Karmic through the updates mechanism, it's too big a change for a stable release. I'm afraid my Perl-fu isn't really strong enough. > BTW: Why does Karmic not just follow upstream Debian? Is there some > policy surrounding this process? Because Karmic is a stable release, so it must be touched only as little as possible. The get_iplayer package in Debian hasn't ever been in a release, so we haven't had that situation yet. When Debian 6 "Squeeze" is released the process will be similar; in Ubuntu Lucid the automatic sync from Squeeze is still taking place. That's why there are two versions showing up. > > Best Regards > > Phil > -- Jonathan Wiltshire 1024D: 0xDB800B52 / 4216 F01F DCA9 21AC F3D3 A903 CA6B EA3E DB80 0B52 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51 -- get_iplayer cannot download iphone mode in this older version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505433 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
