[22:52] <weioo> How can I request a package to get updated?
[22:52] <weioo> PHP 7.0 -> 7.1
[22:52] <weioo> Python 3.5 -> 3.6
[22:52] <weioo> GNOME Terminal 3.20 -> 3.23
[23:03] <tarpman> weioo: python 3.6 is in ubuntu 16.10, php 7.1 will be in ubuntu 17.04, gnome-terminal is waiting for bug 1636666 according to the release notes
[23:13] <weioo> tarpman: thanks
[23:15] <weioo> tarpman: packages.ubuntu.org seems to tell me Python 3.5 is in both 16.10 and 17.04
[23:15] <tarpman> weioo: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python3.6
[23:16] <tarpman> weioo: "python3" is python 3.5 in both of those, yes
[23:16] <weioo> Ah, Python 3.6 is available, but its under the python3.6 package :(
[23:17] <tarpman> I *think* 17.04 is planned to switch the default to 3.6 before release, but not certain
[23:17] <weioo> Would have been great if it was Python 3.6 by default as "python3" instead of 3.5
[23:17] <weioo> oh, I hope so
[23:18] <weioo> 3.6 has support for the new lovely f"My name is {name}, I am {age} year old" strings, f-strings
[23:28] <weioo> Oh the Wine packages are outdated too
[23:32] <wxl> weioo: debian completely lacks a version 2-anything. in fact, they're shipping "development" packages still in 1-something
[23:33] <wxl> weioo: might want to chat with the debian maintainer.
[23:39] <wxl> weioo: you could request a sync from experimental but given that FeatureFreeze is already in effect and this is a whoel new major version, you probably won't see anything until the next release (not zesty)
[23:39] <wxl> weioo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess
[23:40] <wxl> weioo: note that Ubuntu is based on Debian unstable (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging) so if you can motivate Debian to offer 2-something there, that might be helpful
[23:49] <weioo> thanks
