Lowering importance and removing milestone since Edubuntu took an alternative option
Some comments > I, as well as the flavor leads, need to hear this directly from a member of the Ubuntu Pro team. It's unclear to me what you are requesting there. To quote https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-pro-faq/ `Ubuntu Pro provides an SLA for security fixes for the entire distribution (‘main and universe’ packages) for ten years` > Overriding the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable to anything other than > `ubuntu:GNOME` makes it default What do you mean 'makes it default'? That's a list of value, if you want to match ubuntu:GNOME I would expect you to make it 'edubuntu:ubuntu:GNOME' which would get you the current behavior (usually code checks are on the line of 'is that value in the list') but also add edubuntu specifics tweaks > Understandable, and this was communicated, but we also discussed that we'd > find ways to avoid this downstream. Apparently that didn't matter. Such claims don't help, it's not that it didn't matter. The Ubuntu Desktop team is understaffed and sitting between a rock and an hard place. Due to lack of resources we just can't work on the changes you are requesting, which let us the option to ship outdated, unmaintained upstream and potential less secure code to most Ubuntu users. That's not really a compelling option either. If you have a flavor that rely on GNOME I think it's fair to say that it is your job to keep up with upstream and adapt to incoming changes if you need to. We try to help when we can but that's just not always possible... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2060817 Title: gnome-initial-setup hardcoded to Ubuntu branding, not overridable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-initial-setup/+bug/2060817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
