Public bug reported: Empathy is undermaintained.
Upstream recommends that distros do not ship empathy 3.25.90 but instead ship 3.12.14. Specifically, there are some bugs in the new version that may take months before they are fixed. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/distributor- list/2017-September/msg00000.html (3.25.90 was released ~10 days before 3.12.14 was and ~2 weeks before that announcement. We wanted a new empathy release to move to webkit2.) Therefore, we should use a 3.25.90+really3.12.14 version for empathy for Ubuntu 17.10. ** Affects: empathy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722583 Title: Revert empathy to 3.12.14 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1722583/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
