[Bug 666204] Re: Please backport dictionaries-common 1.5.15 to Maverick
As an SRU seems like the way to go, I'm closing this as Invalid.

[Bug 666204] Re: Please backport dictionaries-common 1.5.15 to Maverick
As a rule, we prefer to use backports for new features, not to fix bugs. The SRU process allows us to apply fixes to stable releases which are then available to all users (unlike backports, which is not enabled by default). -- Please backport dictionaries-common 1.5.15 to Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to maverick-backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
[Bug 666204] Re: Please backport dictionaries-common 1.5.15 to Maverick
Upon closer reading of -backports instructions, I am unsure whether this is eligible for a backport. Hence I am also attempting to get an SRU for Maverick, in bug #619015. Apologies if this is wasteful. -- Please backport dictionaries-common 1.5.15 to Maverick https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to maverick-backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
