Please read http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/goodies-dev/2008-September/001734.html Quoting the developer: "Since 90% of the code is new any feedback will be greatly appreciated." This is what I call "too many changes". > 2. Why can't this be pushed as an update, or possibly as a backport as a > last resort?

Nobody said it couldn't be backported: it just needs to be packaged and uploaded for jaunty as soon as the repositories open, and then you'll be able to request a backport (you don't even have to be a developer for that). > 3.

Have you tested it on several configurations to say this? Anyway, ask the Xubuntu Team Leader, motu-release and/or motu-sru if you want a per-case decision on this. -- Lionel Le Folgoc - https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit EEBA 555E 0CDE 92BB 3AF4 4AB3 45A0 357B 5179 5910 -- xfce4-xkb-plugin should be updated to include GUI-manageble keyboard layout switcher shortcut https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290255 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
