Sounds like some great saving of resources on our end. Xenial is stuck any way on Plasma 5.8 I believe, and Zesty has only so much time like you said. LTS should get the most love and outshine our last in every way! <signature>Sent from <a href="https://link.getmailspring.com/link/local-826e06c3-cbbd@lemu7-pop/0?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fgetmailspring.com%3Fref%3Dclient&recipient=kubuntu-devel%40lists.ubuntu.com">Mailspring</a>, the best free email app for work</signature><img class="mailspring-open" width="0" height="0" style="border:0; width:0; height:0;" src="https://link.getmailspring.com/open/local-826e06c3-cbbd@lemu7-pop?recipient=kubuntu-devel%40lists.ubuntu.com"> <div class="gmail_quote nylas-quote nylas-quote-id-CACpu026WDVRL+yMNhu=dOPUGdiCH4u6vHyGd4TpiQOAcnqFADg@mail.gmail.com"> On Oct 12 2017, at 1:44 pm, Valorie Zimmerman <valorie.zimmerman@gmail.com> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <div style="padding-bottom: 20px;"></div><div>Amen to all that. The upcoming LTS should be our best yet, and will take a lot of attention, love, testing, polishing. Anything that doesn't further that should be moved out of the way in my opinion. +1 On Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 10:29 AM, Rik Mills <rikmills@kubuntu.org> wrote: <blockquote type="cite">Once the b-series (18.04 development start we would have 4 active series building on KCI. Xenial, Zesty, Artful and 'b-series'. Since we already arguably generate too many builds at present, then I propose that we retire builds for both Xenial and Zesty. Rational for those: Xenial - There is little that we are likely to backport to Xenial any more with the help of KCI, and what individual packages we might can be test built on a case by case basis. We already have some breakages with Xenial builds due to difficult to backport dependencies, which is only going to get worse with time. It would be a better use of time and resources to concentrate on the upcoming next LTS. Zesty - Similar to Xenial, there is little now that we would with to backport for Zesty. We cannot/should not backport 18.04 versions in the backports ppa, as this would break Zesty -> Artful upgrades via the release upgrader when a user had the backports ppa packages installed. Zesty also only has 3 months worth of life once Artful is released, so it will be going away soon anyway. Thoughts/opinions please?
