Imagine a scenario where some crazy > dude says he has a distribution with 20 year support, we'll try to match?! you know how i love to disagree with you... but you are absolutely right. *WE* didn't commit to support of 10.04 or 11.04 of ubuntu. canonical did. we are free to raise out requirements as we see fit. we did not commit to keeping them static. i DO suggest that we keep in mind though that we will have people on older systems and by ensuring we don't build/run on them we basically lose users. :) > Also, two key problems with your rationale of rant: > - if Ubuntu committed to LTS, it's their duty to fix stuff for their > distro. -- back ports > - they won't back port EFL as its a new addition and they don't support > this (as expected, they do LTS for stuff they released in April 2010) indeed. they likely never will as they dont use it themselves even if it is in multiverse/universe ... :) > -- > Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri > http://profusion.mobi embedded systems > -------------------------------------- > MSN: [email protected] > Skype: gsbarbieri > Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Master Java SE, Java EE, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery > and much more.
