Aside from the trusty enablment stack, the only other compelling piece
would be XFCE 4.12, which I cant seem to get a precise, no pun intended,
release date. Releasing the trusty kernel through updates would be
optimal. Of course, we, the Black Lab Linux team, are supporting 12.04
for two years past the scheduled Ubuntu support date until 2019. So, we
may do a 14.10 stack as our last major release, we may work on that for
Xubuntu as well. But that will be determined on where 14.04 LTS is at
that time.

If we don't need to update the ISO really, we can just release 12.04.5
as is, with the updates that have landed to Ubuntu core after .4. On
the other hand, if there is something we want in, it's another
possibility to get stuff in an ISO, not just updates.
I would note that there is only 1 year left of Xubuntu support for
12.04, so not sure if it makes any difference to land big SRU's now,
since people need to upgrade to 14.04 somewhat shortly anyway.

How does this align with our planning?

Hi All,
With 12.04.4 having just released, I wanted to propose the idea of
having a 12.04.5 point release for Precise.
As many are aware, recent 12.04.x point releases have shipped with a
newer kernel and X stack by default for hardware enablement
purposes. Maintainers of these enablement stacks have agreed to
support these until a Trusty based enablement stack is supported in
Precise. Once a Trusty enablement stack is supported, all previous
enablement stacks would EOL and be asked to migrate to the final
Trusty based enablement stack which would continue to be supported
for the remaining life of Precise.
Currently, 12.04.4 is our final point release for Precise. 12.04.4
shipped with a Saucy enablement stack by default. This Saucy
enablement stack in Precise will eventually EOL in favor of the
Trusty enablement stack. Once that happens, our final point release
for Precise will be delivering an EOL'd enablement stack. This
seems unfortunate and inappropriate. I would like to propose having
a 5th point release for Precise which would deliver the Trusty
enablement stack for Precise.
Providing a 12.04.5 point release will add no additional maintenance
burden upon teams supporting enablement stacks in Precise. It would
require some extra effort on part of the Canonical Foundations Team
as well as the Ubuntu Release Team to spin up an additional set of
images and testing coordination etc. However, I informally
discussed this with a few members of each of those teams and the
tentative agreement was that 12.04.5 was a reasonable request which
could be accommodated. Collectively we could find no compelling
reason to not provide 12.04.5. We also discussed that a 12.04.5
release should be optional for the Flavors to participate in.
Additionally, we would want to purposely avoid clashing the 14.04.1
and 12.04.5 release dates and would suggest releasing 14.04.1 first
and 12.04.5 after (exact date TBD).
What are other's thoughts here? Does anyone have a compelling
reason for not providing a 12.04.5 point release?
Thanks,
Leann
