| LuckyMan | so today is the big day! | 03:06 |
|---|---|---|
| Dennis59 | so.. today is the day, yes? | 09:14 |
| kc2bez | Dennis59: Yes, today is the scheduled release day. | 09:16 |
| aurolac | eta on release ? | 13:36 |
| aurolac | this looks final https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases/23.10/release/ | 13:59 |
| jStefan | you shouldn't post links until it's officially announced. An image could still be re-uploaded later in the day | 14:01 |
| aurolac | this is true hoever the checksum points otherwise | 14:02 |
| aurolac | s/hoever/however | 14:02 |
| jStefan | the checksum that ALSO hasn't been officially announced? Those would be updated together | 14:04 |
| jStefan | What I'm trying to say is, that IS an image of mantic, but it may or may not be the final release image. | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | you can tell the release is done by looking for an email saying so here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2023-September/thread.html | 14:32 |
| Eickmeyer | It'd really be something showing up in the October threads which don't appear yet: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/ | 14:39 |
| Dennis53 | is that the only source we can watch? | 14:42 |
| tomreyn | Thanks, Eickmeyer, you're right, there, of course (I just got up, still dizzy). | 14:46 |
| tomreyn | Dennis53: you can also subscribe to this announcement mailing list at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-announce | 14:46 |
| tomreyn | (it can take a few hours for those thousands of emails to get distributed, though) | 14:48 |
| Eickmeyer | Mirrors are all syncing now, so release is in the final stages. | 14:52 |
| aurolac | usually its 4pm approx GMT time | 14:53 |
| aurolac | or thereabouts | 14:53 |
| Eickmeyer | aurolac: Not true. It's ready when it's ready. (I say as being Ubuntu Studio's lead for the past 5 years). | 14:56 |
| aurolac | dunno dude, last 19 years its been post 4 pm :P | 14:57 |
| aurolac | but there are always exceptions | 14:58 |
| * Eickmeyer doesn't know why people argue with him every six months when it's literally his job to know | 15:00 | |
| Eickmeyer | I will concede that it's likely to be appx 4pm GMT as that's the trend right now as I watch the progress. | 15:02 |
| Eickmeyer | But nobody should ever estimate an exact time. | 15:02 |
| Eickmeyer | 22.10 didn't happen until 19:13 UTC | 15:03 |
| guiverc | there has been tons of variation in timing since I've been posting releases to fridge (since 2017)... I can't start until ML post is out, and ML time varies significantly | 15:28 |
| LuckyMan | will the new store replace the old one when someone upgrades? | 15:55 |
| Eickmeyer | Yes. | 15:56 |
| * Eickmeyer reported the bug when it wasn't happening to make sure it happens, and that got fixed | 15:57 | |
| jStefan | is there a way to always run an experimental release of ubuntu without ever switching the release name? afaik debian could do it | 16:08 |
| tomreyn | There's no equivalent to 'Debian Sid' in Ubuntu land. Ubuntu assigns a release name to the future release shortly after the previous release. | 16:10 |
| jStefan | i was given this answer in the release party channel: <luna-> jStefan: just changes sources.lst to devel: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/devel/ | 16:12 |
| Eickmeyer | jStefan: All that does it move you to the "next" archive automatically. There is no equivalent of "sid". | 16:14 |
| Eickmeyer | That said, the "next" isn't open yet, so at this point it does nothing. | 16:14 |
| Eickmeyer | Also makes it incredibly difficult to add PPAs. | 16:16 |
