Hi Chuck, Thanks for raising a really good point about the development process. We don't do a perfect job, but currently we do the following for the current development series (saucy, currently) This is something that is tracked as part of general Ubuntu development via: https://merges.ubuntu.com/main.html https://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html (& multiverse and restricted) Each thing that has a Ubuntu delta should be merged at least once, each cycle. This is quite unwiedley, so we've picked a subset, which is stuff that the server team officially declared support for - and things which are part of the server cd and produce a merge report: http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/ubuntu-server/merges.html Note, that if you raise a 'please merge bug' - it has a greater chance of getting solved HTH -- Kind Regards, Dave Walker <[email protected]> Engineering Manager, Ubuntu Server -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
