LTS in 6.0.6 LTS stands for Long Term Support. Ubuntu committed to support this version until year 2011 (which isn't really long at all, considering how many computer systems built in 1970s are still in production). The release policy for versions like that is "stability tramps coolness". So, the distro maintainers will generally provide bugfixes and security patches, but won't upgrade to anything that creates a risk of incompatibility with apps people are already running. Which is why RedHat EL 4 is still on Ruby 1.8.1, and Ubuntu 6 on 1.8.4. -- Alex Verkhovsky --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
