Filing this as a Feature Freeze Exception now, 1.0 is very old (two years old), now considered end of life, and 2.0 has been released a year ago.
I have built 2.0 in my PPA and provided it for testing with no issues reported so far, and have been running it for over a month. I will prepare an updated package for 2.1 and provide it for more spot checking. In the interest of continued upstream support for the support lifetime of trusty, I think we should upgrade to 2.1. ** Summary changed: - Upgrade wpa_supplicant from 1.0 to 2.1 + [FFE] Upgrade wpa_supplicant from 1.0 to 2.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to wpa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099755 Title: [FFE] Upgrade wpa_supplicant from 1.0 to 2.1 Status in “wpa” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “wpa” package in Debian: New Bug description: New releases of wpa_supplicant are available: 1.1 (released 2012-11-06) and 2.0 (released 2013-01-12).
