[Bug 564901] Re: ccis-vol-status is old

First of all, please note that Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 are no longer
supported, so we no longer make any changes to those releases.

As for 10.04, with a handful exceptions
(http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates), we don't update software
in stable releases, and we almost never do large version upgrades like
this.

However, we do have the backports process
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports), which is intended
for incorporating newer versions of software that might add desirable
features. The requirements for backporting are simple - we simply need
to verify that the package in question will successfully build, install,
and run on the release to which it's being backported, and I can help
with that.

I'm going to convert this bug into a backports bug for Lucid. Please
indicate whether you want 1.06-1 or 1.09-1 backported. If you want to
backport 1.09-1, we'll run into two issues:

First, the backports process only allows for backporting packages which
are already in some version of Ubuntu, so we would have to wait until
1.09-1 is synced from Debian to Ubuntu Oneiric (which should only take a
few days)

Second, in order to make sure that release upgrades work correctly with
backports turned on, if we backport 1.09-1, we will also need to
backport it to maverick and natty. Those releases will also have to be
tested, not just Lucid, so depending on the resources you have to test,
that may be prohibitive.

Given those caveats, please indicate which version of cciss-vol-status
you would like backported, and we can move forward.
