| Rory | Hi, Ubottu's !lts factoid incorrectly states that support is 5 years for server, and 3 years for desktop. In fact, it is now 5 years for both varieties | 06:27 |
|---|---|---|
| Tm_T | Rory: only with 12.04 | 06:27 |
| Myrtti | yes, but there's still 10.04 there | 06:27 |
| Tm_T | Rory: as in, basic rule hasn't changed, there's just one exception (; | 06:27 |
| Rory | Someone was asking if 14.04 will be supported on the desktop for 3 or 5 years | 06:28 |
| Rory | I was right in saying 3? | 06:28 |
| Tm_T | Rory: as far as we know yes | 06:28 |
| Myrtti | well | 06:28 |
| k1l_ | Tm_T: no | 06:28 |
| Tm_T | k1l_: se? | 06:29 |
| smartboyhw | 14.04: 5 years | 06:29 |
| smartboyhw | 12.04: 5 years | 06:29 |
| k1l_ | its 5 years from now for lts desktop and server | 06:29 |
| smartboyhw | 10.04: 3 years | 06:29 |
| Tm_T | source? | 06:29 |
| Rory | erm | 06:29 |
| k1l_ | the old rule is changed | 06:29 |
| Rory | I still think Ubottu should clarify | 06:29 |
| Rory | !lts | 06:29 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 06:29 |
| Rory | Is this correct? | 06:29 |
| Rory | Is anything is says there factually inaccurate? | 06:30 |
| k1l_ | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 06:30 |
| Myrtti | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2011/10/21/ubuntu-12-04-to-feature-extended-support-period-for-desktop-users/ | 06:30 |
| k1l_ | Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, both versions will receive 5 years support. | 06:30 |
| k1l_ | " " | 06:30 |
| Rory | Is this a case of nobody knows for sure yet? | 06:31 |
| k1l_ | it was in that discussion were RR was in the game, too | 06:31 |
| k1l_ | Rory: yes its sure. see the LTS wiki page | 06:31 |
| smartboyhw | It's sure | 06:31 |
| k1l_ | it was stated by the technical board some time back in the same discussion where they shortened not-lts support to 9 month | 06:32 |
| Tm_T | k1l_: ah, totally missed that detail | 06:32 |
| k1l_ | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/03/19/changes-in-ubuntu-releases-decided-by-the-ubuntu-technical-board/ | 06:33 |
| k1l_ | ah, Myrtti already pasted that link. (too much monday morning for me :X ) | 06:33 |
| Myrtti | k1l_: yours is newer | 06:33 |
| k1l_ | like i said: monday mornings :) | 06:34 |
| Myrtti | yeah, can't win them all | 06:34 |
| Tm_T | k1l_: heh, that wiki page has been having that information since ... late 2011? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS?action=diff&rev1=30&rev2=31 | 06:34 |
| k1l_ | Tm_T: see Myrttis link. it was first changed in 2011. but approved in the latest non-lts support change | 06:35 |
| k1l_ | !lts | 06:36 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 06:36 |
| Tm_T | k1l_: yup, just interesting detail | 06:36 |
| smartboyhw | Actually, we should say the exception applies to 10.04 for 3 years... | 06:36 |
| k1l_ | but i think we should change that factoid to ~"from 12.04 desktop and server get 5 years support" | 06:36 |
| Myrtti | hehe :-P | 06:38 |
| Myrtti | awww | 06:38 |
