Version 14.4 was released on 31st August which was after the Feature Freeze of 19.10 on 22nd of August. Is it possible to publish the updates to the 19.10 repos? > Not as easily as you might think. The next version of Ubuntu is 20.04 and already on Kitty 15.0 just missing the most recent release 15.1 which probably is due to most people being on christmas break. For 19.10 updates would have to follow the SRU policy [1] which means individual, testable, backportable bug fixes. Furthermore Kitty is "only" on universe [2] support so you'd also need to spend some effort yourself or find a volunteer driving this.

Furthermore history has told us that merging qemu along the libvirt release that follows it (containing fixups as needed) is the best approach to not leave the current dev version of Ubuntu in a bad state. That would be libvirt 6.0 which isn't released yet and therefore holding things back a bit (plus the actual time to do the merge work and plenty of testing). > Stable releases of Ubuntu maintain packages in the repositories for > security-patches only; bumping versions beyond this is not a standard modus > operandi.
