Thanks Julian for the detailed response. I would like to add that while I clearly see the risks.
But the benefit of having the API availalbe in lucid now for the next lucid->lts+1 upgrade outweigh them IMO. Otherwise for lucid->lts+1 we will have to write the upgrader code against a different API for next-lts-1->next-lts and lucid->lucid+1. Or maintain the deprecated API for 5 more years. ** Changed in: python-apt (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Feature Freeze exception request https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531518 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
