| OvenWerks | zequence: I would like to see eq10q 5.1 (in Vivid) back ported to LTS. | 06:44 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | The latest is 7.1, but it requires newer libs than LTS has. 5.1 builds fine with no errors in trusty. | 06:45 |
| OvenWerks | The version in trusty (1.2 I think) has wonky GUI stuff. Controls covered by graphics and stuff. Also 5.1 comes with 4 eq sizes (1,4,6 and 10) plus comp and gate. | 06:48 |
| zequence | OvenWerks: We have this old team, with a PPA where we could test backports https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-backports/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 07:13 |
| zequence | We don't have a routine with backports yet | 07:13 |
| zequence | We could also just have a PPA in the dev team for that | 07:13 |
| zequence | But, backports could be extended to non-devs though | 07:13 |
| zequence | And, the bug creator could be the team - so the whole team is responsible | 07:14 |
| zequence | OvenWerks: There's a tool for requesting backports called "requestbackport". | 07:15 |
| zequence | And, you'll need to backport from one release back to the next, and then to the next | 07:15 |
| zequence | Vivid -> Utopic -> Trusty | 07:15 |
| zequence | Utopic will EOL in a couple of months, and I think the backport could take a few weeks to go through. Perhaps three? | 07:16 |
| zequence | By the time you request a backport from Utopic to Trusty, there may no longer be a Trusyt | 07:16 |
| zequence | So, not sure which is best here | 07:16 |
| zequence | Perhaps the devs are more open to direct backports to LTS these days | 07:17 |
| zequence | I could look this up today, and set something up. We probably want to backport more | 07:18 |
| zequence | Wow, I'm getting a job rescuing someones Ubuntu installation - for money!!! | 07:34 |
| zequence | Strange new world | 07:34 |
| zequence | OvenWerks: Seems useless to backport to Utopic, so I'm asking around if we can circumvent that | 07:38 |
| zequence | OvenWerks: I think we can just create our own backport bugs, and subscribe the Ubuntu backports team to them. We might as well do a bunch at the same time, so we get it all done at once | 07:40 |
| zequence | And, we should do this every time there is a new release out | 07:40 |
| zequence | OvenWerks: The biggest problem with backporting from Vivid to Trusty directly is if someone upgrades from Trusty to Utopic after having installed some backport | 07:48 |
| zequence | I didn't think about that | 07:48 |
| OvenWerks | zequence: what if we just run an "update" ppa and let people add that to their upgrader? | 12:37 |
| OvenWerks | We could effectively keep updates for LTS +everything inbetween even though they are not supported. | 12:40 |
| OvenWerks | If we mean for people to use the LTS, we have to keep the tools updated... though I guess we also need to be aware of changes that could break started projects :P | 12:45 |

| micahg | zequence: Utopic will be EOL in about 2 months | 13:49 |
| micahg | ah, you said that :) | 13:49 |
| micahg | I can process any backports you need next week (someone still has to do the testing though) | 13:49 |
