At yesterday's SRU team meeting we concluded that we don't want the archive to end up going down in versions as you upgrade from Focal to Impish. IOW, we aren't granting an exception in this case. Some reasons:
The time a security update is needed in the future would not be an appropriate time to be dealing with this complication - for example we wouldn't want to rule out a cherry-pick and a simple ".1" upload to Impish should that be the most appropriate thing at a later time, even if that isn't your normal intention. I trust Stéphane to make sure the right thing happens in the future, but what if he's not around at the time? All general processes we have assume this situation never arises, so fixing it up properly later might get neglected, and it doesn't seem worth ensuring all relevant processes are adjusted to ensure this is done properly if we can just avoid the situation occurring in the first place. Brian noted that the upgrade path from Focal to Impish _is_ supported. It sounded like you can get an update for Impish prepared to match the one you have for Focal, and that wouldn't take you too much effort. Please could you proceed on this basis? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1959993 Title: SRU of LXC 4.0.12 to focal (upstream bugfix release) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1959993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
