Hi Bjoern, Yes it would only be relevant to LTS users as ubuntu ships 'fresh' releases and non-LTS versions only last for 9 months. I think it could easily be achieved with a simple 301 redirect which is changed whenever a new stable is released. Has Canonical ever considered having a disabled LibO repo/ppa added by default to the repo list?
