> As this is past feature freeze, what are the options for getting these fixes into Trusty?
Is this a bugfix-only release, or will it introduce new features? If only bugfixes, then being beyond feature freeze is not a problem. If features, then we need a feature freeze exception from the release team. >From the upstream thread: > (Does that mean the version of Go in 14.04 will be the same forever? If our future releases are backward compatible, can't they be included? What's the policy?) Short answer: after release, backported high impact bugfixes only, no new features. Do upstream maintain a stable branch with a bugfix-only policy? If so, then a standing exception to stay up-to-date against that branch is possible, subject to quality requirements. Full policy, rationale, procedure etc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates I see that 1.2.1 appears released, and from a quick look it seems that it's bugfix only. Can somebody please confirm? If this is right then we can just do it. ** Tags added: upgrade-software-version ** Changed in: golang (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: golang (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: golang (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-14.04-beta-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284376 Title: Go 1.2.1 will be released in early March To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang/+bug/1284376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
