If the policy is to wait for the release to be stable to update hplip, it means that hplip will always be one release off and won't work on the latest release until the changes are SRUed. Besides SRUing large set of changes is huge and much more work than releasing a new version to the development release. Which changes also have to be approved by the SRU team. Finally, hplip is on Ubuntu and several flavors's ISO which won't be recreated after the release and will include a broken version of hplip.
IMHO it would make sense to release hplip on the latest development release even if it's late in the cycle. ** Tags added: rls-cc-incoming -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1789184 Title: toolbox.py crashed with AttributeError in initUI(): 'DevMgr5' object has no attribute 'DiagnoseQueueAction' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1789184/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
