Re: Broken package with ppa of Empathy (Ubuntu)
Hi Laurent, I Think that the Empathy's package is broken in the ppa The ppa isn't really broken, but some packaging stuff changed. snip LC_ALL=C sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages have been kept back: empathy Is there any trick to do ? Try sudo apt-get install empathy. Memory fades quickly, but i think that fixed it for me when i upgraded from the ppa. It will remove the packages libempathy and libempathy-gtk, but that's normal as upstream dropped them.

Re: Removing Ubuntu releases, just Ubuntu (Aitor Pazos)
Nowadays Ubuntu has to support 4 releases at a time (8.04,8.10,9.04 and 9.10) and as result of that some issues aren't solved as quickly as it could. Having a LTS (Desktop and Server) with periodical releases and a Ubuntu for human beans ;) could be interesting. Is it still necessary to even have releases every 6 months? How many more new features/changes need to be made to the OS? It seems pretty well developed as-is. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Excerpts from Brett Mahar's message of Thu Feb 04 20:00:19 -0500 2010: Is it still necessary to even have releases every 6 months? How many more new features/changes need to be made to the OS? It seems pretty well developed as-is. You are kidding, right? It amazes me that someone would say such a thing. I can tell you right now that the competition (Apple, and, yes, even Microsoft) do not have this attitude. While Ubuntu in its current form is a great distribution, it is by no means perfect and is certainly nowhere near a point where we can start considering stagnation. With the spread of constant internet connectivity, the potential for innovation is endless. Moreover, user interfaces need to change to adapt to the new form factors which are now hitting the market. Lastly, in many areas we haven't yet even caught up with our competition. Have you tried using OpenOffice recently? Moreover, upstream packages continue to release new versions and this will not change any time in the near future. Some of these changes are small, whereas others are much larger. IMHO, it would be generally irresponsible to release the latter category onto stable machines without some sort of release structure indicating to users that things will change, maybe drastically. Act accordingly. In short, our work is nowhere close to done.
