Hello Hans. Thanks for the update. I guess that would be the case maybe for Mailman 3.0 for example but in the case we are talking about there are several security fixes that are related on the changelog from version 2.1.20 to 2.1.29. I believe the security issues that have been fixed on 2.1.20-1ubuntu0.3 are fixes that were made available until that version on the source code, so to the current latest version there are new pending bug and security fixes to be applied to the package available in the package manager.
I don't think pushing a release upgrade is the best approach for a case like this as it doesn't take any backports as necessary or anything that is rather complex like a kernel dependency to be done or that involves other details. There are plenty of reasons to keep running a LTS version with the latest bug and security fixes applied to certain packages until is possible to do a release upgrade. It seems the backport would not be the case for this one as well. Thanks for the tips about bug reporting. I tried to mark the proper package affected but it seems it didn't work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803838 Title: Mailman Upgrade to 2.1.29 - Ubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman/+bug/1803838/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
