Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for our policies on bumping major versions in a stable release. > The latest version available on Jammy is 3.4.4 but the 3.x branch isn't > supported upstream anymore as the latest official release is 4.3.0: > https://github.com/containers/podman/releases > > This is an issue for us because we're experiencing a major bug with the > current version and it's never going to get fixed. In general we cherry-pick bugfixes. So unless there's some blocking reason in this specific case, your bug could get fixed without a major version bump if somebody volunteers to provide the fix and do the QA. I suggest you start by making sure a bug exists at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpod that describes your major bug. Note that there is an exception to our policy for Docker: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Docker.io_group. I don't think this currently includes podman, but it might be reasonable to make an exception for podman on the same basis. However, I must again emphasize that this heavily depends on volunteers providing the necessary updates and QA, and that's an order of magnitude or more of commitment compared to a cherry-pick.
