Thoughts? This is OK with me. I don't know that it changes anything, wouldn't the packages still end up getting maintained in an LTS manner? It would mean there was no 18.04.3 etc. but that just means a bigger update if someone wanted 18.04 a bit later. In other words whatever packages xubuntu uses would still get updates. The kernel might not as we are the only ones using lowlatency... -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Hopefully we can take the next two years to give UbuStu new life and attract help. In the meantime, I think that’s just how it is. :( Erich Does an LTS have to sync with other LTS? Can we have 18.10 be LTS? I am guessing not as support for all 18.10 packages would become our problem :P -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Release Cycle for 18.04
+1 No point claiming support if there isn't any. We have really only relied on the fact that Xubuntu were helping to support our desktop, and everything in "main" being supported by Canonical. We have not had the manpower for SRU (Stable Release Updates) for the other multimedia packages we care about. On the other hand, it would be good to have an LTS always available. Many users prefer not to have to constantly update. Our 16.04 LTS will not be supported after April 2019.
