Thanks for the report. It appears that the get-iplayer package in Ubuntu is inherited directly from Debian. Have you spoken to the Debian maintainer about this?
Shipping in a PPA only suffers from the problem that users must discover the PPA, establish that it's trustable, and manually enable it. On Ubuntu 14.04 and later, we now also support the 'snap' store, which allows upstreams to deliver application packages directly to users on their own schedule, independently of Ubuntu releases. If this is of interest to you, you can read about it at <https://snapcraft.io/>. We could also work with you to provide an automatic upgrade path from the out-of-date .debs in stable releases to your supported upstream snap (something which we could not automate for a PPA). ** Changed in: get-iplayer (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Steve Langasek (vorlon) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654335 Title: Please remove get-iplayer from all future Ubuntu releases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/get-iplayer/+bug/1654335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
