I think thats a bit short sighted. I don't think that Drizzle should fully cover the entire 5-year cycle of Ubuntu LTS, or the much longer (and harder to predict) CentOS/RHEL cycles. However, it would be prudent to at least keep some overlap. CentOS 6/RHEL 6 have been around now for quite some time, so dropping 5 seems prudent. But 12.04 doesn't even exist yet. As a side note, I'd love to get 7.1 into 12.04. Universe is open to uploads pretty much until release day. Would it be safe to ship the RC in expectation of a release before mid-April? > For libdrizzle we should target a wider array and also include older releases. > +1 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
