I don't recall exactly who originally brought this topic up, but it wasn't me so props to somebody else! When a point release, or any release for that matter, is made the phasing of a package is not taken into consideration. Subsequently its possible for users installing Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS to have update-notifier installed even though long time users will not because the package phasing is stopped. So given that 20.04.2 has just been released should we fully phase any packages on the installation media which are currently stopped[1]?
Additionally, I think it is worth adding an item to the point release checklist to check on the status of any halted phased updates to ensure that there are no serious issues which will make it on the point release media. [1] The list is currently: ubiquity, ubuntu-drivers-common, and update-notifier and its viewable at https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/phased-updates.html Cheers, -- Brian Murray -- Ubuntu-release mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
