I truly do not understand why this is even a debate. The simple fact is that either 20.04 is or is not an LTS release. If you are telling people that you are going to support it for 5 years, then that means being able to provide security updates to them as well as allowing them to use hardware that was created during the 5 years following April 2020 within reason. To do that, people must be able to update the kernel plain and simple.
You cannot simply tell people that they have to use experimental/unstable operating system for the next 2 years and/or live with unpatched zero-day security holes in their kernel. And if you want a kernel version that is built on the latest toolchain that is also perfectly fine, but put those separately like how the armhf, ppc64el, etc versions are done. Have another build for the latest toolchain if that is needed for future work to take place but I can see that as being a problem longer term. So really make a proper ppa that has the separation of folders by distributions like how every single other ppa is setup. This is a pretty serious epic failure on Ubuntu's end that is affecting a lot of distributions and users and will start pushing people away as the core fundementals of a kernel do not even work safely. Also, huge huge huge thanks to tuxinvader for providing a PPA prevent us from having to look for alternative solutions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926938 Title: Recent mainline packages are built with Hirsuite 21.04, not Focal 20.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1926938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
