I don't think we can make any commitment against all of Ubuntu or all of main, but we could pick a subset by product and commit to some level of API and ABI support for this subset. e.g. this blessed set of core libraries would be guaranteed to be included in the next LTS, this blessed set of Unity APis would be available in the Touch and Desktop releases, this blessed set of KDE APIs would be available in the next release etc. This would be a prerequisite to releasing standalone SDKs that people could run on other GNU/Linux distros and eventually perhaps even from Windows and OSX as to target Ubuntu. This should probably be a new thread though :-) -- Loïc Minier -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
