* how long should a LTS be supported?
I would be happy with your proposal, but it would be nice if security
issues could be evaluated for the previous LTS as well. Doesn't need a
release, a note in the advisory would be sufficient.
Just as a note: we hit one sever security issue in 5.x so far and that
got backported to all releases (including 5.0). So yeah that certainly
sounds doable and is also something I expect our security team to ask
for.
Related to that:
* what to do with frameworks?
* Would you freeze the frameworks version or continue to backport
newer
framework versions to your distribution?
* Would you want an LTS branch for frameworks as well?
* What would you expect that to look like?
For frameworks I'm clueless, really. To be able to use a frameworks
release in Kubuntu as an "update" it would have to...
- not cause any regressions [Not in plasma, not in any other software
that uses it] (Hi behavior change when closing applications)
- not have any new or updated dependencies ("new" as in: we would need
to add/update a 3rd party package)
- not have any component or pieces of a component removed (counts as
"regression" [not frameworks, but hi kdepim for once removing unused
public libs in a "bugfix" update])
- not have any components added (ok, that could probably be handled if
really necessary)
That's why we and other distributions were asking for bugfix releases
for frameworks 2 years ago. Did something change in the meantime that
I missed?
I'm not aware of any changes.
Looking forward to your input on this rather important topic.
