Public bug reported: hi, Ubuntu has released "trusty" 14.04 LTS this year. Its apt branch has most of the updated packages. But, what I found is the other LTS branches like precise (which I use)(support till 2017) and lucid (support till 2015) packages are not updated. For Example: avrdude(new release has new features which makes it faster), avr-libc, binutils-avr, pinta(current package is unstable), etc.
Though I updated the avrdude and pinta manually, an update is not alerted (automatically) to all the persons who are using Ubuntu. But its the package management system (say apt) which keeps track of the updates, notify updates to user and automatically installs them. Here, I think somebody forget updating the packages of old LTS branch(precise and lucid)(which is supported till 2017) and hence the people(or user of Ubuntu) are suffering with bugs and low performance releases. So, I request the admin or the person resolving this bug to PLEASE NOTIFY THE PACKAGE MAINTAINERS TO UPDATE THE PACKAGES OF THE LTS BRANCHES, precise and lucid, since these branches will be in use till 2015 and 2017 respectively; so that public can enjoy new features and updated (debugged) programs. ** Affects: pinta Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: avrdude (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: pinta Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263053 Title: Update the avrdude, avr-libc, binutils-avr and other packages in precise and lucid branches of Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/1263053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
