It wasn't that long ago that the Ubuntu Studio team had a dedicated backporter. Unfortunately he left due to personal reasons, but I'm sure this is something that the entire team would welcome again. -Eric Hedekar -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

I have to apologize because I meant to mention this in my previous email. In my limited experience trying to backport Ardour, JACK and CELT for Hardy it seemed that the backport team was not extremely responsive to the backport bugs for those applications. I believe I even contacted the team at one point but it has been a good amount of time since then so I cannot be definitive. My reasoning was that the backport team, much like other teams, has limited resources and addressed the most pressing concerns and then transitioned the packages to my own PPA and made them available. But your response, Jussi, has galvanized me into action. I will email JDong about backporting such applications and mention that I would be extremely happy to volunteer for their team.

The backports team dont bite, and I think they would be more than happy to have our efforts and perhaps even accept one of us onto the team.

Backports to LTS
Hello all, I believe a significant quantity of Ubuntu Studio users stay with a LTS version for stability reasons and I feel strongly about providing reasonable backports for the latest LTS version. Therefore, would it be unreasonable to maintain an "official" Ubuntu Studio backport PPA? This would provide a single additional repository for users to add that would provide continual and pervasive updates to applications for those who do not wish to leave the stability of the LTS versions. This would be in contrast to searching for various PPA's to find the application you want updated. I have already made a limited commitment to backport certain core applications (eg JACK, Ardour) in my own PPA. If the suggestion for an "official" Ubuntu Studio backports PPA is rejected I will continue to support the LTS backports in my personal PPA. If the suggestion is accepted I would gladly accept responsibility for a similar limited scope of backports. I look forward to seeing comments on this idea.
