I think the updated justification, and regression potential sections make a reasonable case for a hardware enablement backport.
As an aside on whether jammy should be included I can offer the following anecdotal opinion. As the maintainer of the Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi images, I've always followed a (strictly unofficial) policy that we should strive to support new models of hardware in the current interim release, with a view to backporting to the current LTS for its next point release. For instance, when the Pi 4 came out we added support in disco (then the devel release), then backported support to the next point release of bionic. When the compute module 4 came out, focal was the current release (and eoan was devel) so we simply added support to eoan and focal, and didn't do any further backporting. As noted this is an unofficial policy, but it's one I've attempted to adhere to with some reasonable success, and could possibly be applied here too (though I grant a mainframe is a very different beast, and has a very different audience, to a pi!). By that policy, backport to noble would be sufficient, and jammy would be out of scope. Anyway, I'll sponsor this for plucky, and noble, and we'll see what the SRU team say. Technically I should upload oracular too, but I suspect it will be fully EOL before the noble backport is reviewed. Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors (please re-subscribe if you also want oracular or jammy uploading). ** Summary changed: - [UBUNTU 22.04] GDB: Internal binutils code requires updates made for IBM z17 in binutils already + [SRU] GDB: Internal binutils code requires updates made for IBM z17 in binutils already -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2108997 Title: [SRU] GDB: Internal binutils code requires updates made for IBM z17 in binutils already To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/2108997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
