[06:44] <OvenWerks> zequence: I would like to see eq10q 5.1 (in Vivid) back ported to LTS.
[06:45] <OvenWerks> The latest is 7.1, but it requires newer libs than LTS has. 5.1 builds fine with no errors in trusty.
[06:48] <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.
[07:13] <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
[07:14] <zequence> And, the bug creator could be the team - so the whole team is responsible
[07:15] <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
[07:16] <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
[07:17] <zequence> Perhaps the devs are more open to direct backports to LTS these days
[07:18] <zequence> I could look this up today, and set something up. We probably want to backport more
[07:34] <zequence> Wow, I'm getting a job rescuing someones Ubuntu installation - for money!!!
[07:34] <zequence> Strange new world
[07:38] <zequence> OvenWerks: Seems useless to backport to Utopic, so I'm asking around if we can circumvent that
[07:40] <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
[07:48] <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
[12:37] <OvenWerks> zequence: what if we just run an "update" ppa and let people add that to their upgrader?
[12:40] <OvenWerks> We could effectively keep updates for LTS +everything inbetween even though they are not supported.
[12:45] <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
[13:49] <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)
