[Bug 1891318] Re: [SRU] Update to vala 0.48.9 in focal
I see, I going to use a PPA for rebuilding reverse dependencies to provide this kind of feedback. Doing so has shown all kind of build issues *not* related to vala in the past, while updating 0.40.x in 18.04/Bionic. I am going to update this bug to target the 0.48.10 release soon. ** Description changed: The 0.48.x series is maintained as LTS release and will receive further bug fix releases in the future.

[Bug 1891318] Re: [SRU] Update to vala 0.48.9 in focal
Following discussion, the SRU team has concluded that Vala is not considered part of the standing GNOME microrelease exception. If you'd still like to update Vala in Focal, please justify this request on its own merits instead of relying on GNOME's standing exception. I'd also expect a plan to rebuild reverse dependencies, since without that a Vala update is mostly useless, and we risk latent regressions in case those reverse dependencies are ever rebuilt in the future. ** Changed in: vala (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891318 Title: [SRU] Update to vala 0.48.9 in focal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vala/+bug/1891318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for preparing this update. The SRU team is currently looking to clarify what is and isn't included in the standing GNOME microrelease exception. What bothers me about vala is that its nature means that regressions may remain latent until reverse build dependencies are updated, so the cost of a regression in vala is higher than normal. The SRU team will need to get back to you on this. Removing the ~ubuntu-sponsors subscription as I see this is in the SRU queue now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891318 Title: [SRU] Update to vala 0.48.9 in focal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vala/+bug/1891318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
