[06:44] zequence: I would like to see eq10q 5.1 (in Vivid) back ported to LTS. [06:45] The latest is 7.1, but it requires newer libs than LTS has. 5.1 builds fine with no errors in trusty. [06:48] 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] OvenWerks: We have this old team, with a PPA where we could test backports https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-backports/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [07:13] We don't have a routine with backports yet [07:13] We could also just have a PPA in the dev team for that [07:13] But, backports could be extended to non-devs though [07:14] And, the bug creator could be the team - so the whole team is responsible [07:15] OvenWerks: There's a tool for requesting backports called "requestbackport". [07:15] And, you'll need to backport from one release back to the next, and then to the next [07:15] Vivid -> Utopic -> Trusty [07:16] 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] By the time you request a backport from Utopic to Trusty, there may no longer be a Trusyt [07:16] So, not sure which is best here [07:17] Perhaps the devs are more open to direct backports to LTS these days [07:18] I could look this up today, and set something up. We probably want to backport more [07:34] Wow, I'm getting a job rescuing someones Ubuntu installation - for money!!! [07:34] Strange new world [07:38] OvenWerks: Seems useless to backport to Utopic, so I'm asking around if we can circumvent that [07:40] 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] And, we should do this every time there is a new release out [07:48] 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] I didn't think about that [12:37] zequence: what if we just run an "update" ppa and let people add that to their upgrader? [12:40] We could effectively keep updates for LTS +everything inbetween even though they are not supported. [12:45] 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 === saidinesh is now known as saidinesh5 [13:49] zequence: Utopic will be EOL in about 2 months [13:49] ah, you said that :) [13:49] I can process any backports you need next week (someone still has to do the testing though)
