Hi Philip, I checked python3-sysv-ipc, and Ubuntu currently has these versions:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-sysv-ipc $ rmadison python3-sysv-ipc python3-sysv-ipc | 0.6.8-2build2 | xenial/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x python3-sysv-ipc | 0.6.8-2build4 | bionic/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x python3-sysv-ipc | 1.0.0-2build1 | focal/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x python3-sysv-ipc | 1.0.0-2build5 | jammy/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x python3-sysv-ipc | 1.1.0-2build2 | noble/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x python3-sysv-ipc | 1.1.0-2build4 | plucky/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x python3-sysv-ipc | 1.1.0-2build4 | questing/universe | amd64, amd64v3, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x python3-sysv-ipc | 1.1.0-2build5 | resolute/universe | amd64, amd64v3, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x resolute currently carries the latest available in debian, 1.1.0-2. Looking at the debian dashboard, https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-sysv-ipc, shows that Thomas Goirand maintains the package in debian, and will likely be the one who uploads your new 1.2.0 release. This will then get synced from debian to Ubuntu. Now, by policy, Ubuntu does not upload new major releases or point releases to stable Ubuntu releases, in order to minimise regressions. You can read more about it in: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/SRU/explanation/requirements/ https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/SRU/explanation/principles/ So, resolute, which is the current development release, will likely get 1.2.0, while the rest will remain as they are. For 1.0.0, focal is currently in ESM, and is unlikely to be fixed, but jammy is still supported. If you are concerned about the memory leak, and if the memory leak has actual real world impact to real users, then we can cherry pick the fix for the memory leak and fix it in jammy. In which case let me know a reproducer and I can make a bug in Launchpad, and we can sort that out. Let me know if you have any questions about your package lifecycle in Ubuntu.
