I dont think at this point it is realistic as well considering we havent
gotten a release date and no one has heard a word from the XFCE team
about it.

If there is enough interest and motivation from the community
(including people who can actually help with the SRU), it can be
discussed. As Jackson, I don't personally think it as a realistic
thing to do at the moment either.

4.12 will be difficult to get to 14.04, let alone backporting it all

Aside from the trusty enablment stack, the only other compelling
piece would be XFCE 4.12, which I cant seem to get a precise, no
pun intended, release date. Releasing the trusty kernel through
updates would be optimal. Of course, we, the Black Lab Linux
team, are supporting 12.04 for two years past the scheduled
Ubuntu support date until 2019. So, we may do a 14.10 stack as
our last major release, we may work on that for Xubuntu as well.
But that will be determined on where 14.04 LTS is at that time.

If we don't need to update the ISO really, we can just release
12.04.5 as is, with the updates that have landed to Ubuntu core
after .4. On the other hand, if there is something we want in,
it's another possibility to get stuff in an ISO, not just updates.
I would note that there is only 1 year left of Xubuntu support
for 12.04, so not sure if it makes any difference to land big
SRU's now, since people need to upgrade to 14.04 somewhat
shortly anyway.

*Subject:* *[RFC] 12.04.5*
Hi All,
With 12.04.4 having just released, I wanted to propose the
idea of having a 12.04.5 point release for Precise.
As many are aware, recent 12.04.x point releases have shipped
with a newer kernel and X stack by default for hardware
enablement purposes. Maintainers of these enablement stacks
have agreed to support these until a Trusty based enablement
stack is supported in Precise. Once a Trusty enablement stack
is supported, all previous enablement stacks would EOL and be
asked to migrate to the final Trusty based enablement stack
which would continue to be supported for the remaining life of
Precise.
Currently, 12.04.4 is our final point release for Precise.
12.04.4 shipped with a Saucy enablement stack by default.
This Saucy enablement stack in Precise will eventually EOL in
favor of the Trusty enablement stack. Once that happens, our
final point release for Precise will be delivering an EOL'd
enablement stack. This seems unfortunate and inappropriate.
I would like to propose having a 5th point release for
Precise which would deliver the Trusty enablement stack for
Precise.
Providing a 12.04.5 point release will add no additional
maintenance burden upon teams supporting enablement stacks in
Precise. It would require some extra effort on part of the
Canonical Foundations Team as well as the Ubuntu Release Team
to spin up an additional set of images and testing
coordination etc. However, I informally discussed this with a
few members of each of those teams and the tentative agreement
was that 12.04.5 was a reasonable request which could be
accommodated. Collectively we could find no compelling reason
to not provide 12.04.5. We also discussed that a 12.04.5
release should be optional for the Flavors to participate in.
Additionally, we would want to purposely avoid clashing the
14.04.1 and 12.04.5 release dates and would suggest releasing
14.04.1 first and 12.04.5 after (exact date TBD).
What are other's thoughts here? Does anyone have a compelling
reason for not providing a 12.04.5 point release?
Thanks,
Leann
