Hi all, Ubuntu stopped to update PicoLisp in its distribution. I noticed that the next Ubuntu release (yakkety) still has only PicoLisp 15.11 !!
This is rather bad. That version will be about one year old when yakkety comes out, with several flaws and bugs which were fixed meanwhile. I filed a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606142 but during more than one month nothing happened. The claim is that they cannot build the PicoLisp executable. But 15.11 uses exactly the same build process, and Kan-Ru Chen builds it that way perfectly for Debian. This means that the next Ubuntu release in October - and in consequence depending distributions like Mint - will come with that buggy version :( How can we get the Ubuntu people to take action? Any ideas? Best, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
