Hi Dan, I am the maintainer of Gramps in Debian.
I try to ensure that the latest upstream release of Gramps is available in all the currently supported releases of Debian and Ubuntu that I am easily able to test. And if requested, I would backport to older supported releases (if I had support to test them). Currently I am backporting to Debian Stable Backports, Ubuntu Impish & Focal. Sometimes the releases include bug fixes, sometimes updated translations that didn't make it into the previous release, sometimes there will be new features. I think forcing users to install deb files for the latest release, downloaded from the upstream project, or to try and install from source is doing a disservice to our users. And it gives me the occasional confusing bug report to deal with, or query on the upstream mailing list :-) People happy with the version of Gramps in the original Debian/Ubuntu release can stick with that. It appears to be working fine. If I receive a critical bug report with that version, then I will do a stable-update (for Debian), or an SRU (for Ubuntu). I am not aware that any of the bug fixes in 5.1.5 are critical, and deserving of an SRU. Sorry for not making clear my intentions in the bug description. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1964632 Title: [BPO] gramps/5.1.5-1 from jammy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gramps/+bug/1964632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
