| Eickmeyer | OvenWerks: What do you think about keeping the 18.04 backports open until July 2020? That gives people 3 months to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 rather than hard-cutting it off. | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| OvenWerks | I think backports are different than cycle support and it is ok to keep backports going as long as it makes sense | 00:51 |
| OvenWerks | The cycle support is for the ISO, but backports are part of the installer which applies to vanilla which has a longer support cycle. | 00:52 |
| Eickmeyer | Right, cycle support ended January, technically. | 00:53 |
| Eickmeyer | Because we released as non-LTS. | 00:53 |
| OvenWerks | Yeah, but vanilla is LTS and installer supports vanilla | 00:54 |
| Eickmeyer | Basically, the public doesn't understand. Ubuntu Studio 18.04 is non-LTS, so that screams "avoid" to the LTS-only people. | 00:54 |
| OvenWerks | So backports should do the same support. | 00:54 |
| Eickmeyer | Right, but flavor support is typically 3 years. Should we just go to 2021 on that then? | 00:55 |
| OvenWerks | That would be fine I guess. | 00:55 |
| Eickmeyer | Okay. I guess I should make some sort of announcement to that effect. Probably stipulating "Only with the backports PPA." | 00:56 |
| OvenWerks | Certainly I would prefer to see people using 18.04 till 20.04 than 16.04 | 00:56 |
| Eickmeyer | Right. 16.04 is EOL on Thursday, and I already have a post scheduled for the website on that. | 00:57 |
| OvenWerks | By 18.04, systemd is reasonably fully in use and stable. | 01:01 |
| OvenWerks | 14.04 is all upstart, 16.04 has some of each... | 01:01 |
| Eickmeyer | Right. | 01:02 |
