Given that the fix is really small and well confined, and that netenv as shipped in feisty is really partially broken because of this (it is unable to restart the network when needed), it would be very nice if fixed packages could be made available for feisty.
I know that it is not the fault of the package mantainer, but I would like to make ubuntu developers aware that the ubuntu policy of releasing only security fixes and not important bugfixes (even for packages that are completely unusable in the current distribution) is not very nice to users: for instance: - emacs-snapshot is completely broken in feisty (crashes at startup - fix is known, committed to gustsy, but not available for feisty - so no emacs snapshot for feisty, ever) - kate 3.5.7 has completely broken session management in feisty (crashes at saving session - fix is know, commited to gutsy, but not available for feisty - so no kate for kde 3.5.7 for feisty, ever) - etc... So, please, please, please, at least for netenv, please deliver the fix to feisty users too... Not for me (I have fixed my script), but for all the rest of the ubuntu users that really expect bugfix packages for major bugs to be distributed along with security fixes. -- Please teach netenv about Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
