the ac100 has been pulled from release. Long story cut short.... I went ballistic at them for releasing it when we marked it as "Do not release"; they are now trying to blame lubuntu for 'not supporting it'; when it was never a lubuntu project.
I'm now spitting furious over this. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100 has the details of the device, we were asked if they could piggy back lubuntu onto the install as ubuntu left too little room on the device. I (lubuntu) was asked if they could 'use' lubuntu for the system because ubuntu was too big to leave room for people to add things. I thought it quite reasonable and asked our head of dev to approve it. As the so called agreement was that arm look after it on the simple grounds that none of us had a test machine, it was approved. That they released 13.10 when marked as 'not for release' and then also quote Steve Langasek 20:20 (56 minutes ago) to Phill, ubuntu-release, ubuntu-quality, Julien On Fri, Oct 18, 2013 at 07:56:17AM +0100, Phill Whiteside wrote: > Hi folks, > as I did state that arm-ac100 had not been tested and was not to be > released, I trust you can assist this person. Releasing an image or not has no impact on whether users upgrade and find themselves with a broken install afterwards. If upgrades are not being supported on Lubuntu ac100, it's up to the Lubuntu community to communicate that. I do see that the image was incorrectly published without validation. I've withdrawn the image from the release now. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. Ubuntu Developer http://www.debian.org/ slanga...@ubuntu.com vor...@debian.org REALLY annoys me. AFAIK, the 13.04 did work okay - but you would have to ask the dis-banded arm team about that. Needless to say, after this incident ac100 is not on lubuntu list anymore. I'm still struggling to work out how lubuntu got blamed for it :( Regards, Phill.
