@ari-tczew Thx for keeping track on this :) As we are actually going LTS again, i think it's really time to focus a bit more on NM again. With all respect to the Ubuntu Devs, but it seems since Alexander Sack moved on the other topics we're actually lacking man power over here. That's a little pity as:
- RedHat's upstream guys are pushing hard these days: + https://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2016/01/18/networkmanager-1-2-has- better-wi-fi-scanning/ + https://blogs.gnome.org/lkundrak/2016/01/18/networkmanger-and- tracking-protection-in-wi-fi-networks/ + http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/plain/NEWS + https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/plain/NEWS (... they even integrated support for libappindicator!) - Debian is currently quite ahead of Ubuntu with integrating NM So at least my conclusion is: 1. There should be no 0ubuntuX package anymore, to "stand on Debian's shoulders" again, as we have no dedicated man power to NM anymore. 2. We should embrace the newest upstream releases for two reason: 2.1 The awesome new features will make Xenial's networking rock till the next LTS and we won't be so much behind other Linux distros like Arch and Fedora. 2.2 We lower the maintainence costs with things like libappindicator support, the GDBus porting and a supported upstream release where we can fallback to cherry picking. @Robert Ancell & Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre What do you think? BTW I am willing to help a bit with the merging, packaging and testing NM 1.2! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1529294 Title: Merge network-manager 1.0.10-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main) Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: network-manager (1.0.10-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. * Bump Build-Depend on libsoup2.4-dev to (>= 2.40) as per configure.ac. * Rebase patches. -- Michael Biebl <[email protected]> Thu, 24 Dec 2015 00:43:55 +0100 network-manager (1.0.8-2) unstable; urgency=medium [ Chris Boot ] * Use dh_ppp to generate Breaks for ppp and find the path to the plugin directory.
