>From the security team's perspective, we'd much rather have the final webkit release in rather than an unstable snapshot to shake out any issues with the new pieces while it's still the dev release. Otherwise, we'd prefer to revert to 1.8, which would mean reverting anything that uses the new webkit version (epiphany and various other pieces of GNOME) which would be a real mess. I currently plan to update quantal with the 1.10.x stable release branch as the releases come out.

[07:49] <seb128> micahg, no, nobody has been working on webkit in Ubuntu for cycle, I just took up on doing the updates previous cycle because they were stalling [07:50] <seb128> micahg, though we might be able to sync 1.9.2 from Debian experimental, I planned to look at that [07:50] <micahg> seb128: do we need to take 1.10 for Q? [07:50] <seb128> micahg, "need to", I don't know but they follow the GNOME cycle and I would not be surprised if i.e epiphany requires 1.9 [07:53] <micahg> seb128: ok, thanks, if you don't get to it by next week, I might take a look at syncing/merging 1.8.1 from unstable (would prefer you do it though :)) [07:54] <seb128> micahg, does it mean you prefer not to go for 1.9? why? [07:54] <micahg> seb128: well, the idea was to support 1.8 for 5 years, if Q is on 1.8, that's one less extra thing to worry about [07:55] <micahg> OTOH, if 1.10 doesn't have any ABI breaks, might be worth jumping [07:55] <seb128> micahg, right, let's see what goes in 1.9 and if GNOME starts depending on it [07:55] <seb128> micahg, I will let you know [07:55] <micahg> seb128: thanks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/webkit/+bug/1005682/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
