Ubuntu May Become Rolling Release With 14.04
- mtgx 14y agoI think that's a good idea. Most of the interim releases are usually filled with bugs and more unstable anyway.
- mixmastamyk 14y agoIt would be great to actually get bug fix updates to packages rather than only the security. I know that technically they are supposed to be shipping them, but they rarely do. Also, they would have to double-down on QA which is unlikely.
- jcastro 14y agoWe've been doubling down on QA since the last LTS, there's some info on that here: http://qa.ubuntu.com/ http://qa.ubuntu.com/
- mixmastamyk 14y agoGood to hear.
- dnu 14y agoI hope that they keep the Long Term Support versions, for which they used to provide updates for up to 5 years.
- glazemaster 14y agoIn the video, they revealed that the plan is to move from LTS to LTS, with each LTS rolling until the next. I think it sounds cool.
- cowsaysoink 14y agoKind of like debian stable and debian testing relationship.
- caiusdurling 14y agoI quite like the sound of this, but I only really install LTS, and then only on servers, so as long as LTS stick around I'm not too bothered what they do between each release ;-) Also, BSD releases work that way don't they?
