I've just marked another duplicate of this bug. I see that six people have marked this bug as affecting them now. Note that requesting a backport of a more recent release of vsftpd to 12.04 is the appropriate way to resolve this issue for those who want or need it resolved in 12.04. If somebody is interested in this, then please file a backport bug (link and procedure in description). If somebody is interested in actually doing the backport, then please follow up and go right ahead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065714 Title: vsftpd 2.3.5 needs allow_writeable_chroot option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vsftpd/+bug/1065714/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1065714] Re: vsftpd 2.3.5 needs allow_writeable_chroot option
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. In order to keep stable releases stable, updates after release are only considered under specific circumstances. Details of the process and of the criteria required are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When I understand that this makes it difficult for users of the LTS release to have writeable chroots, but now that the LTS is released and the fix doesn't meet the above criteria, I don't think this will change for 12.04. But note that the stable release updates team makes the decision on this by following the above policy and not me. If you'd like a newer version of vsftpd to be made generally available for users who do want to use the allow_writeable_chroot option, then the backports repository is an appropriate venue for this. With a backport, users who want the feature could just add the backports repository and install vsftpd from there. You can find out more about backports and how to request one here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports However, you can generally only backport after the development release of Ubuntu contains the version requested. I see that Debian unstable has vsftpd 3.0.2-1 now, and Ubuntu should merge this in a month or two, after the imminent release of Quantal. So a backport would take at least that long since we are in final freeze at the moment. I appreciate the difficulty this causes and I regret that this can't be resolved sooner or just by updating the LTS. But I hope you understand that the LTS can only be kept stable if it is not modified to add features to minimise the risk of regressions. Marking this bug as Invalid, as the request was to backport a feature to an existing release, which would violate SRU policy. I'm not sure that we need a bug to track the merge of vsftpd from Debian sid, as this will happen in due course anyway. But once the next development release contains vsftpd 3 for the feature you need, please do go ahead and follow the backports procedure and file a backports bug against the Precise Backports project if you want to go down that route. ** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to vsftpd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065714 Title: vsftpd 2.3.5 needs allow_writeable_chroot option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vsftpd/+bug/1065714/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
