I fully agree. An LTS release is only supposed to get critical bug fixes and security updates. Anything else should go to Feisty (with backports to Edgy in some cases). > -Matt > - - Jari -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFSbIrX3kJV2WDScIRAhEMAJ0T4gsbDkS3KgGjcWY/fY3BTAhtxACfbwm9 essoOpfcJBXJHTX/yAtB7Dc= =1i4b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
