Hi! I would like to request that Banshee be added to the list of packages that are covered by the micro release exception for SRU uploads, as defined by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions.
Banshee's version has three components: x.y.z. Unstable/beta releases have an odd y, such as the 1.9.z, and 1.7.z series. Prior to the release of every Ubuntu version, they will make a stable release, marking the end of the prior unstable series, such as 1.9.z ending with the 2.0.0 release. At this point, a git branch, named stable-x.y will be created from the tag for the new stable series. Development and bug fixes will continue as usual in the master branch, and bugfixes deemed important and stable enough will be cherry-picked into the stable-x.y branch. At unspecified intervals (usually based on the number/importance of the bugfixes), a new stable release will be made, from this branch, such as the recent 2.0.1 version. In Ubuntu versions prior to Natty, these microreleases have been uploaded to -proposed, and verified with a number of Launchpad bugs. I attempted something similar for Natty, but was pointed to MicroReleaseExceptions instead, so here's the request. Additionally, the unstable releases are uploaded to Debian Experimental, and the stable releass uploaded to Debian Unstable, prior to being merged into Ubuntu. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
