Hi all, You may have seen my post and discussion in the MLs of ubuntu-devel, kubuntu- devel and ubuntu-studio-devel (really, those with the Plasma desktops) lacking a way to be notified when a new Ubuntu version is released. This is a huge detriment to our users, and I hope to correct this as soon as possible.
I have recently uploaded plasma-distro-release-notifier as a fix to this. It is in kinetic source NEW and is ready for approval. My plan with this is somewhat unusual. Of course, for Ubuntu Studio, it will require an FFe at this point to be included. Hopefully Kubuntu will want this as well (I can't imagine why they wouldn't), and I believe both can be covered on the same FFe. This is where things get tricky. I realize this is a somewhat unusual request, but I believe this needs to be included in 22.04 as well. I know that entirely new packages are highly frowned-upon for stable releases, but I feel the detriment to users not getting a notification about a new release and getting stuck on an EOL release might be a bigger detriment than the small risk this small package might create. I'm coming here prior to filing a full FFe bug just to test the waters and see if there's any way this can be a possibility. I hope that it would be well- justified.
