[09:05] <Kurdistan> Hi I really hope the idea of rolling release and LTS will be reality. Rolling release that support last point release of every libreoffice would be best instead of supporting every LO release. For beginning of every new LO it is a bit buggy. It shapes well in the last point release of a release.
[09:08] <ikonia> enjoy your unstable platform
[09:09] <Kurdistan> ikonia, :) I will stay with LTS but it is sad that only firefox/thunderbird gets new release (application rolling release) in LTS and no other application.
[09:10] <ikonia> Kurdistan: if you are going to stay with LTS - why do you hope the rolling release happens ?
[09:10] <Kurdistan> ikonia, :) maybe because I will install it on other computer?
[09:10] <ikonia> Kurdistan: so you won't be using LTS
[09:11] <Kurdistan> ikonia, rolling release does not mean unstable. that is wrong argument.
[09:11] <Kurdistan> ikonia, :) rolling release on one and lts on one in the future :).
[09:11] <ikonia> Kurdistan: oh, so you think a package that's intergrated into a release that only changes every 6 months and has months of testing on that static platform, are more stable then packages that are built in a week and deployed to a moving platform ?
[09:13] <Kurdistan> ikonia, yeah I feel interim release are rushed and unpolished example 12.10. crap that did not have linux-headers that made issue for many.
[09:13] <ikonia> right, so rushing even more and using a moving platform is that likely to make it better tested and more stable or less
[09:14] <Kurdistan> ikonia, :) I think 13.04 is even more stable then 12.10 right now.
[09:14] <ikonia> that's not what I asked
[09:15] <Kurdistan> ikonia, rolling release for me it means ready when it is ready. It does not mean you the developer must rush with newest package for the sake of bleeding edge.
[09:15] <ikonia> that's the point of rolling
[09:15] <ikonia> to keep it up to date
[09:15] <Kurdistan> ikonia, so you think it is good that ubuntu right now support 4 desktop release?
[09:16] <Kurdistan> with lts and rolling release there will only bee 2
[09:16] <ikonia> yes
[09:16] <ikonia> because they don't really support them
[09:16] <ikonia> they release them and dump them
[09:16] <Kurdistan> ikonia, :) have you been using any rolling release?
[09:16] <ikonia> only the LTS version get real update, the rest goes into the next distribution
[09:16] <ikonia> I don't use rolling releases for real life day to day use
[09:17] <Kurdistan> ikonia, they do support then. interim release supports for 18 month.
[09:17] <ikonia> Kurdistan: let me know when a non-lts product got a version update
[09:18] <Kurdistan> ikonia, how do you mean? do you mean ubuntu does not tell there user the truth about supporting interim release 18 month?
[09:19] <ikonia> they support it in the sense that fixes can be provided
[09:19] <ikonia> but in reality, nothing changes
[09:19] <ikonia> minor bugs are fixed
[09:19] <ikonia> or very little
[09:20] <Kurdistan> ikonia, oki.
[09:22] <Kurdistan> ikonia, thx for your time.
[13:25] <popey> 09:17:52 < ikonia> Kurdistan: let me know when a non-lts product got a version update
[13:25] <popey> we ship updates to quantal all the time
