It was done via debian/rules, which looked quite different compared to now: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/libreoffice-dictionaries/trusty-updates/view/head:/debian/rules Not sure it would be worth it to start shipping the readme files for all the binaries. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- 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

It may be acceptable to update to a wholesale newer version, but this depends on what changes have been made and how they fit Ubuntu's stable release promises. Ultimately we depend on volunteers to provide updates that meet our policies, so if you can do that, please do. If you have any further questions after reading the SRU policy document, feel free to continue to ask them here.

Re: calibre version 3.31
Hi John, On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 09:41:15PM -0500, John wrote: > I wanted to install Calibre for Linux Mint The repository has version 3.21 > but the latest if version 3.31.. > Any change The newer version can be loaded in the repository? Thank you for your interest. calibre 3.31 is already in Cosmic so will be in the next release of Ubuntu. If you're interested in updates to existing stable releases, please start by reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates (for automatically recommended updates) and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports (for opt-in updates). I'm not sure a calibre update to 3.31 in Bionic would meet SRU policy, but I'll let you determine that for yourself as I don't know the detailed set of changes that have taken place in calibre. If someone is interested in making one, a snap for calibre might be a better idea since it's a leaf package that could be easily updated on a faster cadence than Ubuntu itself: https://snapcraft.io/ Hopefully that will help explain the options available to you. Ultimately it is up to volunteers to create updates that meet our policies, so if you can contribute that, this would be welcome.
