> Ubuntu Studio 19.10 has been released. Maybe backport some of these changes?
The only packages that I backport from Ubuntu Studio are ubuntustudio-controls and ubuntustudio-menu. I backport these from the Ubuntu Studio PPA, not from Ubuntu's repositories, so our versions of these two packages should always be up-to-date with the versions in Ubuntu Studio. Some backports come from PPAs or apt repositories containing the latest version of some application (Ardour, GIMP, etc.). As long as these repositories stay up-to-date, our versions of these packages should be either equal to or greater than Ubuntu Studio's. The remaining backports have come from the Ubuntu 19.10 repositories. (Although 19.10 was not released until this month, the repositories have been available for testing for several months.) Next I plan to switch to backporting these packages from 20.04, for which I haven't seen any announcements yet, but whose codename appears to be "focal".[1] Long story short, this approach to A/V backports means that our packages will always be caught to to, if not ahead of, Ubuntu Studio. > I'd love to help with backporting, I just don't have the skills yet. > http://ubuntustudio.org/2019/10/ubuntu-studio-19-10-released/ There are two parts to it: (1) finding a source to backport from, and (2) writing the package helper(s) to do this. Even if you don't feel ready to help with (2), you can probably help with (1). I have added instructions to this page[2] explaining what criteria to consider when looking for a source. I have stopped prioritizing these backports in order to focus on the issues blocking Trisquel 9's release, so it would be great if you could help out with the backports.
