But we can't update those in the stable release for all users, because every user's set of specific packages is different. Another way of looking at this is that we do update all the packages that individual users want updated, and this is what we call the current (non-LTS) release :) We do accept the need, however, and snaps are our solution to this problem. signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- 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

Re: Golang Package.
Gotcha. Why is the standard package is so far behind in 16.04? Golang doesn't have a concept of LTS.

Golang Package.
Hey team. I've noticed the golang package is always several major releases behind. What is the process for getting this package updated? I'd like to help if I can. Mike.
