What about Cosmic? Note that from SRU policy (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates), "To avoid regressions on upgrade, any such feature must then also be added to any newer supported Ubuntu release."
I'm afraid that this is going to be too time consuming for me to review - there seem to be additional complications the more I look into it (eg. Cosmic and the new soname as you mention above). Based on previous experience I think that the technical difficulties in landing this safely to existing 18.04 users are going to overwhelm the available volunteer time available from developers who are able to review it. You might be better off maintaining a PPA for users on 18.04, or just recommending the use of Disco once it's released, combined with suitable automation, tests and CI to ensure that you can roll forward on a six monthly basis until the next LTS is released. If that seems hard to you, updating 18.04 seems harder to me. However I welcome other Ubuntu developers to take a look if they want to help you getting this landed. I reserve judgement on this being suitable from an SRU policy perspective. If you do manage to get sponsorship, keep in mind that finding an SRU team member to review it all again is still going to a significant challenge. I've added bug tasks for Bionic and Cosmic - getting the statuses all correct would be helpful if you want to proceed. I'm sorry I can't help you further. I hope this doesn't discourage you from continuing to help with Shobboleth packaging in Ubuntu. Appearing as a newcomer wanting to do major surgery is your challenge here. I hope that you'll find that maintaining packaging in the development release, and landing routine bugfixes in stable releases are much easier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822069 Title: SRU: Shibboleth SPv3 for bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/log4shib/+bug/1822069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
