[18:07] <CareBear\> hello all! what is the normal way for package updates to become available to old releases, e.g. 10.04 LTS?
[18:08] <micahg> CareBear\: SRU for bug fixes, backports for new releases (when it qualifies for backports)
[18:08] <micahg> *new upstream feature releases
[18:08] <CareBear\> where can I learn about SRU and backports?
[18:08] <micahg> !sru > CareBear\
[18:08] <ubot2> CareBear\, please see my private message
[18:09] <CareBear\> thanks, I'll search there for backports as well
[18:09] <micahg> !backports | CareBear\
[18:09] <ubot2> CareBear\: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[18:09] <micahg> CareBear\: any questions in general about the processes you can ask in #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-devel
[18:10] <CareBear\> is the backports team on IRC as well?
[18:10] <micahg> yes
[18:11] <micahg> in #ubuntu-motu
[18:11] <CareBear\> oh, ok, not clear what motu stands for. thanks! :)
[18:11] <micahg> CareBear\: motu is masters of the universe, but the backporters really are both there and -devel
[18:11] <CareBear\> hihi ok :)
[18:12] <CareBear\> "only backports packages from within the Ubuntu repositories" - I understand some repos are synced from debian?
[18:12] <CareBear\> is that those, or some other?
[18:14] <CareBear\> I'll go to -motu
[18:14] <xnox> CareBear\: no. It means from
[18:14] <xnox> ubuntu+1
[18:14] <xnox> for ubuntu-stable, and from ubuntu-stable for ubuntu-1 for example
[18:14] <xnox> not from ppa, not from debian, not from jumping a release.
[18:26] <dupondje> Hi guys! Got some question about some bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/remmina/+bug/937522
[18:26] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 937522 in remmina "rdp clipboard sync doesn't work anymore." [Undecided,Confirmed]
[18:26] <dupondje> Got a patch for it ready, but its quite big, I dunno if there is a chance to get it in Precise?
[18:27] <dupondje> is missing clipboard serious enough or ...
[18:30] <micahg> dupondje: should probably get it into quantal first :)
[18:32] <dupondje> micahg: well, there are plans to release new version of Remmina upstream with the support included.
[18:32] <dupondje> so :)
[18:33] <dupondje> can get the clipboard patch first in quantal if really needed, not a big issue :D
[18:34] <jbicha> yeah the policy is that the fix needs to in some way be in the current development release first
[18:35] <dupondje> give me a minute ^^
[18:41] <CareBear\> xnox : sorry, "It means from ubuntu+1 for ubuntu-stable, and from ubuntu-stable for ubuntu-1 for example" isn't clear, but ok not from debian. I'll talk in -motu about how to create the needed package. thanks!
[19:03] <xnox> CareBear\: if you want a backport in lucid, it first has to land in quantal, than in precise, and then all the releases in between, and only then it can land in lucid-backports for exmaple.
[19:04] <xnox> CareBear\: backports is a waterfall =)
