Thank Steve, you are right under that POV it would fall under the (virtual) HW enablement category. So not backports but a real SRU, that is beneficial for more people if done right. Thanks for sharing your SRU expert hat thoughts.
So it comes down to a matter of: - developing some more extended regression checks to have more confidence in such updates - allocating time to do the regular updates (maybe quarterly, but even less frequent is better than no updates) Looking at my next things I need to do - I don't see me doing these open-vm-tools updates very soon (mostly for the lack of good regression checks atm) so any help is welcome, but I keep it on my todo-list to pick it up when I can. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741390 Title: Package two years out of date To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1741390/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
