Public bug reported: I imagine this belongs in the update-manager package but I'm not sure, since it involves a special case when upgrading from previous versions of Ubuntu.
Previous versions of Ubuntu had a working version of Apache Maven in the repository, and many people depend on it for software development. However, as discussed in bug #427539 and others, the current version of Maven doesn't work and won't be fixed until Lucid. Most likely it will be removed from the repository entirely. Because of this, the upgrade process must warn people who have Maven installed that upgrading to 9.10 will remove Maven or render it non- functional. This should be done before people commit to the upgrade. Additionally, the release notes should mention that Maven is no longer supported so that new installers can make an informed decision about which version of Ubuntu to install. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- when upgrading to Karmic from earlier versions of Ubuntu, warn that Maven is no longer supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/450554 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
