Marketing blurb (that makes the article questionable) on Wikipedia aside: Ubuntu 14.04 is - other than 14.10, 15.04, 15.10 - still what Ubuntu would call "supported", but Ubuntu "support" does not pertain to all packages. Be sure to install the latest ubuntu-support-status package, and then run ubuntu-support-status with various options to see which packages have never been maintained, or have fallen out of support. https://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Note that on an average usable Ubuntu Desktop, a considerable part of packages is NOT supported. This is a flaw in the Ubuntu distribution concept. On my system, Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, env LANGUAGE=en ubuntu-support-status gets me this: > You have 14 packages (0.2%) supported until Dezember 2021 (5y) > You have 2768 packages (40.8%) supported until April 2021 (5y) > You have 1012 packages (14.9%) supported until Januar 2017 (9m) > You have 1098 packages (16.2%) supported until April 2019 (3y) > > You have 29 packages (0.4%) that can not/no-longer be downloaded > You have 1857 packages (27.4%) that are unsupported So the conclusion is that Ubuntu "support" is smoke and mirrors, because only half of the packages is supported for a reasonable amount of time, and a quarter isn't supported at all. ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
