lastpass-cli

2023-10-22 Thread JD

Hello,
 
The lastpass-cli available in the ubuntu repositories (1.3.3) is out of date.  
I was able to employ it despite the lack of support for some LastPass functions 
added in 1.3.4.  Earlier this year, the coded certificate authorities expired 
and the corrected version on github, 1.3.6, will not compile properly on ubuntu 
22 (I actually run kubuntu to better support low vision).
 
How do I request a small update such as this?
 
Thank you,
 
J. Damon

Dimitri asked me for some more details so I dug a bit more. It's
actually better explained in a better blog post from late August:

And the release policy has been updated too:

https://www.openssl.org/policies/general/release-policy.html

> Planning: Continuous process, provides input to the Release Definition phase.
> Release Definition: Defines release backlog, lasts up to 4 weeks.
> Development: Execution of the release backlog, spans from 20 to 24 weeks.

If they follow their plan, we'd therefore have pre-release versions
several weeks before Ubuntu releases. Of course, feature freeze
concerns apply if the pre-release isn't out in time.

That's all I've seen so far (OK, I didn't dig that much). We'll see very
soon how that turns out in practice for the 3.2 release.

Hi,

A few weeks ago, openssl maintainers announced moving to a time-based
release (April and October):

https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2023/09/29/OpenSSL-Update-ICMC23/

> Key takeaway 3 : Time Based Release Policy

Based on this and the openssl 3.0 release date, I'd expect a new LTS
version to be released (almost) in time for 26.04 but not for 24.04.

*IF* an openssl LTS release is out in April 26.04, we might want to
track the corresponding openssl git branch during the 26.04 release in
order to be able to ship it. This is more than two years away however
and a lot can happen until then. I don't have a crystal ball
unfortunately. In any case, we'll know if the planned and the actual
release cadence and calendar match.
