[12:14] <JulienCumulus> Hi guys! Is there a way to update/upload the newest version of my package to Xenial and aYkkety? My package is already available there but a very old version which was picked up a long time ago (2015) from the debian repositories. (Zesty and Artful have my 2017 debian upload).
[12:15] <tsimonq2> JulienCumulus: Hey there! I think you might be interested in learning about the backports repositories. Otherwise, you can backport bugfixes, but any new versions of an application requires talking to a member of the release team.
[12:15] <rbasak> JulienCumulus: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports. Depending on the package, snaps are intended to be a more robust alternative.
[12:15] <tsimonq2> Or... snaps
[12:19] <JulienCumulus> ack, thanks tsimonq2 & rbasak, i'll read all that. The new version of my package contains a lot of bugfixes.
[12:20] <tsimonq2> Ok :)
[12:24] <Unit193> rbasak: Though backports are pretty much abandonded now.
[12:27] <rbasak> Unit193: only in so far as they aren't being contributed to. JulienCumulus was asking how to contribute, so that's a bit circular :)
[21:59] <tsimonq2> Could anyone please give me a review on bug 1699623?
