Wearing my ~ubuntu-sru hat: This seems like a pretty radical change. There was some IRC discussion here: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/08/30/%23ubuntu-devel.html
My conclusion: +1 in principle (I have yet to review the change itself), for the following reasons: This change impacts Lubuntu only, and I'm told that this has been discussed and agreed within the Lubuntu community and approved by an Lubuntu release manager. Though fixing Firefox packaging to support ALSA is another option, I appreciate that this may be beyond feasible for Lubuntu in practice, and I think it's appropriate for Lubuntu to decide for themselves how they want to approach fixing this. Clearly the Firefox update has broken user experience on Lubuntu, so I think a fix is justified under existing SRU policy. It's a grey area as to whether this is a "change to the environment" or a regression caused by the Firefox update, but either way I think the spirit of the SRU policy is that the SRU team have the remit to approve a fix. Especially because the regression is hitting users already. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710993 Title: PulseAudio requirement breaks Firefox on ALSA-only systems after 55.0.1 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1710993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
