[Bug 186869] Re: Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version)
The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life - http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-7.10-eol . As a result, we are closing the Gutsy task. ** Changed in: glom (Ubuntu Gutsy) Status: New = Won't Fix -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Should this bug report be closed, given that gutsy is now obsoleted by hardy? -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No. Gutsy is still supported for another year. -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK. So, I believe there is now a new SRU process that will allow the latest stable upstream version to be taken. -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'd really prefer that you just not bother than that you fix just one bug via a patch. Even while this was being discussed here, a whole bunch of other bugs were fixed: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/glom/branches/glom-1-6/NEWS?view=markup And if we have to go through this long process for every bug fix then we'll never get more than 2 or 3 of those in. -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok; I'll let Jordan report back on pushing 1.6.2; the changes in 1.6.2 are much smaller than in 1.6.6. -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 186869] Re: Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version)
Sorry Murray, haven't had much time lately to look into this. I'm asking the Technical Board for clarification on microreleases. What would be the lowest version of glom that would fix this bug? From Loïc Minier's investigation above going from 1.6.0 to 1.6.6 seems to introduce and awful lot beyond just fixing this bug. It's a slippery slope here as I'm sure there are always improvements with every release, but the more updated code we introduce the more potential for regressions and unintentional side-effects. Hopefully we can get this resolved soon, I don't like seeing bug fixes just lying around. -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 186869] Re: Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version)
What would be the lowest version of glom that would fix this bug 1.6.2, but there is no good reason not to take all the bug fixes. It's a stable branch. By the way: You'll find it easier to read the NEWS file than the ChangeLog: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/glom/branches/glom-1-6/NEWS?view=markup The ChangeLog is for people working on the software. seems to introduce and awful lot beyond just fixing this bug. Some ifdefs were added to support the Maemo platform. We did that initially in a branch but eventually it had to be brought back into the current stable version. It's all working fine in Ubuntu Hardy. And several other bugs are fixed too. That's good. Bug fixes are good. the more updated code we introduce the more potential for regressions and unintentional side-effects. That's not a real problem because nobody is using Glom for anything remotely important. The couldn't be, because no version of Ubuntu has ever had a version of Glom that didn't have a critical bug, because Ubuntu never packages the bug fixes. So it's risk free to take the latest stable version. -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 186869] Re: Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version)
I'm marking the main task as Fixed Released as it is fixed in Hardy, and I'm accepting the Gutsy task. I think we should maybe look at this for a possible microrelease exception. MOTU SRU needs to discuss this further but I would see this as a candidate. ** Changed in: glom (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- Gutsy: Can't change field types (needs newer stable version) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
