Hi,
Hey Phill,
sorry for a fairly n00b question, as some of you will aware lubuntu is
to be built using the Canonical build system as we reach full adoption.
I have had a chat with our head of dev and this build process cannot be
applied retrospectively, which is not a problem as we have the build
scripts.
However one item has sprung to my mind as we get to make a point release
for the 10.04 system. Back then, we were using 0.5.x of PCManFM (as were
xubuntu), we also had tried to get pyneighborhood to work for shares
(smb / windows, etc). but to no real joy. PCManFM 0.9.x has resolved all
those issues.
From a QA point of view, would a point release be allowed to jump from
0.5.x to 0.9.x which would require a couple of extra libraries.
pyneighborhood would then be obsolete, but I am loathe to remove it as
someone may be using it. I know that those builds do no really fall
under the full rules, but I'd appreciate your views on the matter.
Once a release is out, versions of the software remain the same for the
life of the release (with few special cases) Updates to stable releases
are only published under very specific rules described in the Stable
Release Update process [1]
Backport is more appropriate for major upgrades like the one you
describe. You'll find a description of the process in [2]
