@lvoytek: Your initiative and efforts are greatly appreciated. Thanks for driving the FFe process!
----- @schopin what you are proposing in comment #4, to me, seems like a pretty strange and local optimization you're proposing. That is because shipping outdated EOL software with a future release and with known bugs fixed in an established version for months on end lets your user hang without bugfixes and also cements the support burden: users seek support because bugs remain unfixed, I will turn them away or tell them to install newer software, and they come running to Ubuntu to complaint. And to vent another frustration, Debian hasn't updated to 6.5.X in due time for 13/Trixie. Ubuntu inherited that. But I am also unaware of Ubuntu attempting to assist Debian, the package they stand on. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fetchmail https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1111514 It's especially frustrating that nothing happened in half a year, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1096626 was filed Mid February 2025 already. Not updating for a non-LTS release where you have plenty of time for fixing things also does not seem a careful approach to me - you'd rather want to know now than in the few weeks before LTS if something were amiss. To me this feels pretty much like Simon Chopin endorsing to freeride on everybody else's spare time, and I do not appreciate that. Debian will also need to do their share to respond in a more timely manner to FTBFS reports. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #1111514 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1111514 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #1096626 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1096626 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2120850 Title: fetchmail: questing autopkgtests failures To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fetchmail/+bug/2120850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
