| ice9 | if there is a crash or a bug in one of the software like nouveau, i915 or gnome-shell, etc. Why should we file a bug on the Launchpad? why not directly on the bug track of that software? | 20:34 |
| ravage | you can do that | 20:35 |
| ravage | upstream will eventually arrive on an Ubuntu release | 20:36 |
| ravage | can take a few years if you are on a LTS release | 20:36 |
| ravage | it may even be a good idea to get it fixed in upstream first if the bug still exists there | 20:38 |
| ravage | makes backporting the fix easier usually | 20:38 |
| arraybolt3 | ice9: A lot of times Ubuntu ships older versions of software that upstream doesn't support (or at least doesn't support our patched version of it). | 20:53 |
| arraybolt3 | So you can run into some frustrated developers if you try to report things upstream. | 20:54 |
| arraybolt3 | Whereas reporting things on Launchpad lets us take care of it, and we can test to see if a bug exists in the latest version of something and then forward the bug upstream *if* it's necessary. | 20:54 |
| arraybolt3 | That way you don't have to face an army of disgruntled programmers :D | 20:54 |

| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 21:03 |
| ravage | someone asked about an alternative to the Ubuntu Podcast here recently. I found https://linuxmatters.sh/ is the clostest you will ever get to a continuation :) | 21:16 |
