Do you have some links pointing to a prepared Ubuntu package and some refusal by Ubuntu developers? > I also would like to know why the new stable release of tint2 (0.7) has > not been included in karmic instead of the old 0.6 version. Looking at tint2 version in Karmic, 0.6.0-1, the lack of an -#ubuntu# at the end means that the package is maintained entirely in Debian, and then synced into Ubuntu. Debian has tint2 0.7.1-1, however their changelog shows that it was only uploaded to Debian after the 1st of July, which is past Karmic Debian Import Freeze (DIF), which according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule was June 25th. tint2 could have been manually synced from Debian past that date if you (or anyone else) had requested a sync in Launchpad (checking first that it builds and runs fine in Karmic, and providing the build logs or, better, a PPA link) - up to Feature Freeze, which was August 27th tint 0.7.1-1 (or any newer version) will be synced from Debian at the beginning of Ubuntu 10.04 development cycle. If there are newer versions released around 2 month or less from 10.04 release, you might want to have a look at 10.04 release schedule and request manual syncs in Launchpad.
