Public bug reported: [Impact] Ubuntu 16.04 is running a version of gnome-software based on 3.20.1 which is an older stable release (latest stable release is 3.20.5). The Ubuntu changes were managed in a git branch that is difficult to manage. We have not been able to bring in all the stable changes to this branch and it is difficult to modify. We have rebased our changes on 3.20.5 [1] and propose these as a Stable Release Update.
[1] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- desktop/2017-June/005011.html [Test Case] 1. Run GNOME Software Expected result: Running latest stable release, no regressions from 3.20.1 Observed result: Running older release. [Regression Potential] Due to the number of changes there is a risk of regression. These changes are all on a stable branch, so upstream considers them to be safe. We ran this version from a PPA to check for issues, and there don't seem to be any problems. ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Fix Released ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Wishlist Assignee: Robert Ancell (robert-ancell) Status: New ** Also affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Robert Ancell (robert-ancell) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1703461 Title: Update to 3.20.5 Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-software source package in Xenial: New Bug description: [Impact] Ubuntu 16.04 is running a version of gnome-software based on 3.20.1 which is an older stable release (latest stable release is 3.20.5).
