I don't like the revert idea either. But like I pointed out almost 4 months ago, there are just 3 options, right? 1. Accept PCRE2 in main 2. Keep gnome-terminal at 3.20 and vte at 0.44 indefinitely 3. Revert the PCRE2 changes, which allows postponing a choice between the first two.
I don't think #2 is better for maintainability than #3 really (We've done that with other packages before and it means that Ubuntu will only get a handful of bugfixes. Long term, it means we'll have created a mostly dead fork and I'm not convinced we had a good enough reason to do that. #3 is a fork too but it won't be as dead as quickly.) I really think #1 is the right answer here but if we go with #3, we can keep ignoring the MIR for several more months. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666264 Title: FFe: Update gnome-terminal to 3.24 and vte to 0.48 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1666264/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
