[06:27] <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 (;
[06:28] <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
[06:29] <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?
[06:30] <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_> " "
[06:31] <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
[06:32] <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
[06:33] <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
[06:34] <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
[06:35] <k1l_> Tm_T: see Myrttis link. it was first changed in 2011. but approved in the latest non-lts support change
[06:36] <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"
[06:38] <Myrtti> hehe :-P
[06:38] <Myrtti> awww
