Following the development of ZFS support in 19.10

Hi there I've never used a mailing list before so sorry if this is not the correct mailing list to ask this. What would be the best method of following the development of ZFS support in 19.10? I'm not a developer, I'm interested in the technology as an end-user. Thanks Jor

Dump Google?

Dear Ubuntu Developers, I'm not sure if I'm the first person to suggest this, but lately Google's reputation has diminished, especially with talk of them being Big Brother (yes, I know what server my email's on). Why not drop Google and go for a more private search engine? I know of a few und

e never figured out a good way to get out of it other than to reboot my computer so the effect was about the same. I'd be all for some sort of "get me out of here" button when it's first activated. -Jordan > 2009/10/25 Joe Zimmerman : > > Hi all, > > > > (

Re: about empathy as the default IM application

uldn't default it for Karmic, I think we should. I just don't think we should kid ourselves into thinking we're switching because Empathy is, at this moment or even by Karmic's release, a much superior IM client. The only concrete reasons I've seen are that we can drop ekiga

Re: about empathy as the default IM application

t a huge empathy fan (it's OK, but pidgin is better for me) but I think it's clearly the choice going forward and has a responsive and active development team. Perhaps we should just do it and try to mitigate any regressions, if any, as best we can for Karmic. -Jordan -- Ubu

Re: Properly identifying applications

thing they ask me is what browser I'm using. If all I can say is "in Ubuntu it just says Web Browser" I'm not going to get very far. Additionally, people aren't stupid, it's possible for them to learn app names and I don't know that we need to treat them as if t

Re: Bugs introduced in GCC?

ging diffs which include all kinds of files. However, Ubuntu's change relative to Debian is an 18 KB diff which is mostly changelog entries and doesn't add any patches to gcc itself at all. So perhaps RMS's original question is better sent to the Debian gcc maintainers? -Jordan Mantha

Re: Launchpad bug workflow change

u want to control who can be assign bugs then that's a slightly different matter, but there *has* to be a workflow that allows for non-developers to work on bugs. Anything less would severely affect Universe and probably Main as well. -Jordan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
