Please assume good faith. I am not endorsing free ride, but rather looking at this from another perspective. I filed the issue because a baseline regression in autopkgtests means that much loss of test coverage for fetchmail's dependencies. *That* is the issue I care about.
Packaging a new upstream version means more work for Lena, but also more risks of other issues and incompatibilities cropping up, which would delay the landing of the fix. In essence, it's a riskier approach. However, my comment was a bit on the flippant side, my apologies for that. It seems that I'm especially lacking in tact and empathy today :-/ I hear your frustration with older versions, and we probably could do a better job of monitoring our "upstream lag". It is not our intention to add an extra burden of support for the upstream maintainers. It *is* completely fair to redirect users to our bug tracker, which would actually help us realize that we're out of date! -- 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
