Hi Simon, What I have been mentioning was targeting Ubuntu distro’s and it is more or less along the same lines as you mentioned with OpenSuse

Further if a new version of efl fixed a serious bug that was hard to backport we would also take the version update. In ubuntu's case from memory the service packs tend to only be a new installer containing all the updates so its probably less likely, but I don't remember how ubuntu works 100% so I could be wrong. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
