"Unsupported updates" is probably not the best term for backports, which is what those are. Newer versions of selected packages from later Ubuntu releases are added to the backports repository when requested.
They are unsupported because backports does not receive formal security support like the Main component of a regular release. Sometimes newer versions fix bugs, but they also bring regression risks, so it is appropriate that this not be enabled by default. -- Why NO function on OK button https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
